After corrected a misnamed text field the dialog box began showing, however the code was still wrong and would only fill the text fields with "BLANK" and would not eb overwritten. Changes were made, as on the commit function portion of teh code I used dialogstore() and used the variable names, but item_id shoudl have been used. After making this change, It began to work.
After alteration the effect was that the stamp when placed would create a dialog where a user can input necessary information and then enter to populate a stamp with the necessary info, if the user woudllike to update teh stamp, one can delete and just enter the fields that want to be changed and enter to 'update' the stamp. The onnly functionality I could not create was having the code give a BLANK display when the stamp is placed for the first time - instead the stamp displays what the previous stamp information was, even in other documents - im guessing because the variables are saved in the stamps files, not the document the stamp is applied, but if anyone knows please let me know why - My next steps would be to add a conditional statement where if the user inputs a " " (a space) then it resets to BLANK or something along that line.
And special thanks to TRY67 for the help !
Here is the most major code changed for reference:
the CODE's entirety:
if (event.source!=null && event.source.forReal && event.source.stampName == "#5VGSDi-y5TU9st_HVS7nkC") {

DoDialog: function() {
return app.execDialog(this);
},
