Trying to change master flag to 1 to clear synonym (not a synonym). Using system editor to edit DICT of table to change the value of field 28 (DICT_MASTER_FLAG) to 1 but does not save change.

The old DICT.MFS is causing you grief. The MFS only allows one record for each FMC to be flagged as master. I can't remember how I'd get around this. I think I used to change all items with the same FMC to F28=0/null, then delete the %FIELDS% record in the dictionary and set master flag in the item I wanted.

Yep .. just messed with this a lot. Converting a big PICK system and there were bazillions of syns .. and not fun ones either
I simply wrote a routine to move the dict to a TABLE .. then cleared out the dict and brought back the ones I wanted to be master .. setting the flag .. then brought the others.
If you have a lot to do this really is the easiest way to do it.
