I am unable to edit, save, and apply validation code to my custom Python script in ArcGIS Desktop 10.1.
Please follow these instructions and see if you can get them to work:
1) In ArcToolbox, right-click a custom Toolbox and go to Add > Script...
2) Leave the default properties and click Next >
3) Either leave the Script File blank, or pick an existing script, or type the path of a script that doesn't exist, and click Next >
4) Click Finish
5) Right-click your new script and go to Properties...
6) Click the Validation tab
7) Click Edit..., make no changes, save if you want, and close your editor.
😎 Click OK or Apply on the Properties dialog. In my situation, I get the following message:

Note that none of these error messages talk about the file I'm editing at the time. These are all files within the Python installation from ArcGIS Desktop.
