Cannot add modifier to an item - "New Modifier" is grayed-out

[dsansone9868]

When adding a new item, I am directed to "Modifiers" to add a modifier for that item.  On the "Create Modifier" page the "New Modifier" option is grayed-out.  I get an error message that I must add a new modifier to save my changes.  It's a Catch-22, for sure.  Does anyone have a solution to this?  Thanks.
