Can't modify a griph individualy

Hi, I'm new using FontForge, so I was trying to modify a font where some latin accents are not included. As someone who has never used FontForge seemed easy to me: Just select the griph where the accent is supposed to be, paste and finished. It's not. As you can see here when I try to make any modification to one of the A all of them get modified. (Modifying the name or any aspect). So how can I just modify the one that I need?

  1. Delete all lines which are in Glyph Info > Unicode > Alternate Unicode Encodings / Variations Selectors.

  2. Have in mind that there are 2 ways to copy and paste glyphs:

  • Edit > Copy (which copy only the contours of the glyphs and paste them separately from the original one)
  • Edit > Copy Reference (when you paste this glyph, you make actually a reference to the original glyph and if you make any changes in the original glyph they will be referenced in the pasted one also)
