This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
You are working on a site under development and trying to change the source language of a Gravity Form using WPML. When selecting all string translations for the form, you receive a message: 'You have selected strings belonging to a package. Please select all strings from the affected package or unselect these strings.' The message does not specify which package, preventing you from changing the language of the form.
Solution:
To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
1. Go to the WPML > String Translation page.
2. Use the search filter to find strings related to your Gravity Form.
3. Check the 'Belongs to a package' column to identify the package name associated with the strings.
4. Once identified, either select all strings from that package or deselect the strings as needed.
5. After adjusting your selections, try changing the source language again.

If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we recommend opening a new support ticket. Also, check the related known issues and verify that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. For further assistance, please visit our support forum.

Thanks for your reply. I will need to closely examine your website. Therefore, I will require temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your Website. Then, tell me which gravity form are you trying to change the source of the language.

Please note that it is important to have a backup for security purposes and to prevent any potential data loss. You can use the UpdraftPlus plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/updraftplus/) to fulfill your backup requirements.

Your upcoming reply will be treated with confidentiality and will only be visible to you and me.

✙ To resolve the issue, I may need your consent to deactivate and reactivate plugins and the theme, as well as make configuration changes on the site if necessary. This emphasizes the significance of having a backup.

I have some html-blocks in the form contain only the following syntax inside " ". Removing the html-blocks in the form solved the issue. I am getting no more warning message and I can change the source language now.
