So what I would do is go to the backend and then go to Appearance | Editor and look at the list of files on the right until you find the right one. Opening that file should tell you how to proceed - either copying the template to a new one or doing a deeper dive via get_template_part().

Place the template code here.

Here's the code from the file I located per your instructions above:

<?php
/*
Template Name: New Judge Profile
*/
?>

<div class="contact-section-wrapper">
	<?php gravity_form( 2, false, false, false, '', false ); ?>
</div>

<?php // while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
  <?php get_template_part('templates/content', 'page'); ?>
<?php // endwhile; ?>

What does that tell you about how I should to proceed?

Thank you both for your prompt responses.

Do the following:

1) Copy that file
...
3) Save template, have a beer.

That is more or less what I surmised, however I can't locate that file. It is called 'page-new-judge.php' but I don't see it anywhere in our theme directory:

Where else should I look and/or can I duplicate it from within the CMS?

Possibly look in the wp-content directory.

FYI - here are the templates available to me in the CMS when editing a page. Currently, the form page I'm trying to duplicate uses the one labeled "New Judge Profile".

When I review the list of files in Appearance|Editor, there are MANY more files than this listed... so I assume I'm trying to replicate the template file in a manner that will insert another <option> in this <select>:

From Appearance|Editor ... I located the file on the right, like you instructed, and saw the code when I clicked on it. I did not see an option to duplicate the file, so I assumed I'd have to do that directly in the file directory (i.e., duplicate/modify a local copy of the file and then upload). But I don't see the file anywhere.

Possibly look in the wp-content directory.

I did a keyword search for the filename in the domain-level directory, so I don't think there's a file with that specific name. Though I will look manually/more thoroughly in the numerous subfolders in case there is an indexing issue with my search.

Okay, so somewhere on your system is a file called page-new-judge.php

That's the file that needs to be duplicated, renamed, and edited. As to where it would be, your prior devs made this a bit difficult and you will have to look through the folders to find it. If you can locate the basic page.php template, I'm pretty sure it will contain references to other folders via get_template_part() and conditional statements.

Make sure you have downloaded all of the files on your system.

I ran a VBA script in Excel to list every file name in our domain-level directory and all subdirectories (over 7,000 total files) and none have that specific name. The page.php file in wp-content\themes\OurThemeName just has the following:

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
  <?php get_template_part('templates/page', 'header'); ?>
  <?php get_template_part('templates/content', 'page'); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>

Here is the code from templates/page-header.php:

<!-- <div class="page-header">
  <h1>
    <?php echo roots_title(); ?>
  </h1>
</div>
 -->

And here is the code from templates/content-page.php:

<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php wp_link_pages(array('before' => '<nav class="pagination">', 'after' => '</nav>')); ?>

I should also note that in wp-content/themes, there are 7 theme folders in addition to our company-named theme. Is it possible/likely/certain that I should be searching those theme folders too? Doesn't explain why the file name wouldn't be listed in my VBA-generated list, but I thought I'd mention it.

@rgranlund: I synced all files this morning, and just confirmed that nothing in the live directory differs from my local directory (unless there a bunch of hidden files that I can't see?).

First, thank you for your back-and-forth on this... I know it's difficult to troubleshoot something when you can't dive into the files/code yourself, so I appreciate your patience and assistance.

Yes. It is possible your previous developers created your current theme as a child theme of one of the other ones present. Check your current theme's style.css file to be sure:

I'll look into that... but it doesn't change the fact that a search of the ENTIRE domain-level directory returned no files with that name... is that stumping you as much as it is stumping me? Or is there a logical explanation for this?

is that stumping you as much as it is stumping me? Or is there a logical explanation for this?

It's a little perplexing, but there's always an explanation in the end.
