I downloaded a freebie to turn G3M into a Dwarf (Acrondroplasia), loaded G3M, applied Morph. But no change, SHOW Hidden Properties, turned on. Nothing new in either Shapes or Parameters.
Please help!

You shouldn't need to show hidden properties for the morph to work. Have you checked the log to see if there is a duplicate formula or other error that may be linked?
Are you able to link to the freebie at all?

I have tried it but had a different issue to you: in my case when I installed the package the Acrondroplasia morph did not show up at all (the other two from the same package did).
To fix the morph so that it worked for me I did the following:
After doing that and re-ading G3M the morph showed up as an option and also morphed the figure. Don't know if that will definitely fix the error message that you received but worth a go.
Obviously, I am not able to send you the modified file but here is a screnshot of the amended line 20 to help you modify it yourself:
This is weird, I open the file "Acrondroplasia.dsf" and I get machine language in my text editor. I tried windows' built in Notepad, WordPad, EditPad Lite. Why are you seeing clear text, but not me ?
I figured out how to uncompress DSF files. Now, editted Line 20, but error though.

Did you forget to do the unzip step? The dsf file as supplied is compressed so it is effectively a zip file that contains the actual dsf inside it. Also, don't use WordPad as that is a word processor and so might mess up the formatting.
Ahh, I think I have figured it out. The Morph needs to control SCLArmsLength & PBMLegsLength which do not appear to be present in the base G3 essentials from what I could tell. They are present in Genesis 3 Male Body Morphs product tho, maybe you don't have that? I can't see it listed as a pre-requisite on the product page but if you don't have that installed then it could be the cause of that error.
No, I remembered to unzip, same error though. Rebooted my computer. I might be missing this file if I understand the DSF file correctly under Line 42 ""output" : "Genesis3Male:/data/DAZ%203D/Genesis%203/Male/Morphs/DAZ%203D/Body/SCLArmsLength.dsf#SCLArmsLength?value","
I just brought "Genesis 3 Male Body Morphs"
SAME ERROR STILL

Oh :( I assume that after you bought and installed the body morphs you deleted the G3M and re-added a fresh one to your scene? If so I am out of ideas but I will try and look again after work.
While you were editing the file you some how managed to alter line 18 "Parent", this line tells DS which base figure the DSF asset is meant to work on.
The line should read as - "parent" : "/data/DAZ%203D/Genesis%203/Male/Genesis3Male.dsf#Genesis3Male",
