Resolution

For the current release there is no ability to have scripting when converting a story that includes responsive pages therefore the current option is not to convert stories that include 'Responsive Pages' at the moment and wait for a future release of SAP Analytics Cloud.

Reference from the SAP Roadmap feature:
Convert the classic story responsive page to the optimized design experience, and obtain support from the following features:
-- Scripting
-- Pause refresh options
-- Pop-up
-- Responsive rule configuration
-- Device preview
-- Data change insights
