I can't edit a metadata template I made

I created an ISO 19139 metadata template. Before I imported it to test it I noticed I couldn't edit it at all. On the top of the editor in Arc Catalog on the description tab there is usually a choice to print, edit upgrade or import the metadata.

On the template I created there is only a choice to print or import the metadata.

I also tried importing it and nothing changed. I am not sure why this is happening and any help would be much appreciated.
