The current OutPort that you selected during the Add EC wizard do not have a Stable Anchor. This means that the OutPort was not released by SAP to be used on custom implementation. You can only add UI components to Standard UI screens if the current section of the screen has a Stable Anchor for the respective action that you are trying to do (Change Properties, Add EC, Add Mashup, Add Extension Field). In the current situation, the OutPort do not have any Stable Anchor that UI Designer could use to bind the new EC to the OutPort. When dealing with Standard UI Screens you can only select and use Standard OutPorts where its name starts with "PublicOutport...". These OutPorts have Stable Anchors and can be used by partner on their implementations.

Only use Standard's OutPorts where its name starts with "PublicOutPort..." as these are the only OutPorts with Stable Anchor provided.
