How are you editing the stylesheet? If you use the Styler UI, it should be pretty easy, open the Generated Content item you want to modify and choose from the menus Insert->User Formatting Element->_ufe:LOEPSignatureBlock.
From your screenshot, it looks like you might be simply opening the stylesheet in Arbortext Editor as a generic XML file and trying to modify it that way. That's not recommended, since the regular editor won't understand a lot of the semantics of stylesheet markup when editing that way. Also, elements like UFEs won't appear in the usual "insert element" UI widgets, so you would have to resort to using an "insert tag" command or something similar, which may be why you are getting unexpected results. Everything will be easier if you edit in Styler:
Hi Jeff--
It's not 100% clear what you are trying to accomplish here. I guess you have one page where you want the old UFE to apply, and another similar page, where you want a similar but modified UFE to apply instead. Is that right? If so, there are a couple of ways you could approach it:
- If there is markup context you could use to conditionalize the output, you could add that to the original UFE and then you wouldn't need the new one, something like this:
except you would have _ufe:SignatureBlock with conditions for something like "_ufe:SignatureBlock in toc" and "_ufe:SignatureBlock in loep" or whatever markup context determines which variant you want to use.
- You could set up parallel page definitions, with parallel page regions, where one uses the old UFE and the other uses the new UFE in its gentext. So you'd need to duplicate the page definition and the page region containing the gentext, and then set your pageset to include both pages

Ah, I see! The problem I had while in Styler was I didn't know how to select the Generated Content view.
Once that list populated, I was easily able to add the new _ufe element to my markup.
I still have a lot to learn, but this makes sense to me now. Thank you so much for your help!

Jeff
