I am able, however, to amend seat selection on the Lufthansa app.

I suspect the SAS site struggles with the feeder being in a mid Economy RBD and not SEN? Did you try with SEN in the PNR?
It shouldn't as its "Business Semi/Flex operated in Economy" but then, its not Basia's problem with that site.
Btw, if you'll forgive me, I thought it was interesting as
G is flying a typical LO discounted Europe C ticket:
Someone flying LO F (feeder is always S on domestic) to renew SEN for two years now:
GDN-WAW 313
WAW-Europe 1563
3752 total status miles
26.6 returns to SEN
If done on LH Group in P:
GDN-LH Hub 938
LH Hub-Europe 938
3752 total
(identical)
Identical to LO, therefore no shooting in foot to be loyal to LO except for lack of C on domestic plus arguably offset by more award miles due to RBD calc.
From next year, LO trip:
GDN-WAW 20 points
WAW-Europe 40 points
Return 120 points/QP
16.6 such returns to SEN
Same trip done with LH in "P"
GDN-LH Hub 40 points
LH Hub-Europe 40 points
Return 160 points/QP
SEN in 12.5 such returns
Fares are basically identical. LH you get C on all the trip, LO you have it on half the trip.
LO are really screwed. M&M a joke for the LO -PL traveller. Basia must have been on the Jack Rabbit when she signed this off. The only way it can be addressed is by adding C on domestic.
By the way, just for interest, done for Economy in Europe:
Highly profitable Y/B/M pax on LH Group,16 returns.
Highly profitable Y/B pax (leaving out M) on LO, 17.7 returns
From 2024:
25 returns in any RBD, no matter if super expensive Y/B(M)... LOL
Those high fares credited to some other FFP for *G would be a fraction of SEN, meanwhile you make the airline more money. Comical.
