It worked for me when modifying both flights.
EDIT : Just tried, not working anymore... All changes are now blocked despite being a flex fare. Maybe a sign that it won't be honored at all...

First you have to tick time instead of price criteria. Then, select change flight (not hour). Try several combination.

Dear All,
Don't panic over the fact that no changes can be made at this time. EK is likely rewriting fare rules and making inventory adjustments as a response to their too popular route launch sale!
As is the case with the CX F Fare last year, airlines will need some time to get their acts together. Let us just hope for the best now and
1. DO NOT CALL THE AIRLINE I SWEAR TO GOD PLEASE DONT
2. Don't make any non-refundable trip plans yet

Someone just did! I mean what is so hard about the golden rule don't call the airline. If people can't take the uncertainty, then don't partake in the process. Why panic after just 12 hours and called the airline?!

I booked for September but wanted to change date but no changes allowed online. I called in earlier and explained I want to change dates but keep same price and was told they are well aware of this misprice and will have a resolution soon.
The person on the phone said he recommends that I switch my dates but into economy since that is what Emirates will do with the rest of the bookings anyway.

[anyway I am sure someone else would have called a few minutes later]

5. More Stress
Rumours of individual ticket cancellations and previous management decisions not to honour the fares start to surface.
Newbies fret and spread these rumours far and wide, and lose sleep about whether their fare will be cancelled.
They curse themselves for booking non-refundable hotel accommodation and positioning flights and start to research just how non-refundable they are.
DoT rules and remedies are discussed at length. Legal advice is given by non lawyers.
Pros pour themselves another drink, sit back, relax, and wait (perhaps with another drink).

No way they will switch this into economy without offering a free refund.
Let's see what kind of compensation they will offer. Free economy ticket for the same route ? Voucher ? Economy ticket to anywhere Emirates fly ?

Those of us who have been here long enough, know that calling the airline is never a good idea.
However, posting the fare on a blog isnt a good idea either...yet I dont see GSTP being criticised here.
The caller did nothing wrong, and it would be ridiculous to assume EK hadn't spotted the error beforehand.
