How do I set the IDE for Python in ArcGIS Pro to let me edit the scripts of GUI tools?

Question

Hi all,

I have a problem setting the IDE by ArcGIS pro when I right-click a script and select Edit. I have tried to enter the file path (i.e. files like IDLE)  under the geoprocessing option but still non-active when right-clicking on any tool, Edit is still hidden, not active. Any help please to activate the editing option?

Addendum.

What I describe is for Pro 2.6.1.... Pro 2.3 uses the 'old' way of describing toolboxes.

An upgrade would be prudent

As I somewhat indicated earlier,  BuildBalancedZones isn't a separate "script" but is a called class in the *.pyt script listed below

Finally the script.... Spatial Statistics Tools.pyt script contains the class

class BuildBalancedZones(object)

on line 11,118

Actually, I tried to use your instructions that published in the old thread (in 2018) and apply that steps on the old AcrPro 2.3 version but it also does not works.  However, I went yesterday to the Spatial statistics associated scripts that are located in the folder

C:\arc_pro\Resources\ArcToolBox\Scripts

I found the scripts of tools but the names of these scripts are not matched with the names on the toolbox list, so is there any way to match between the scripts on that folder and the names of tools on the list of ToolBox?

Thanks again, sir.
