LC8 dp9 Difficulty

[William Prothero]

More info. When I mess around with the object inspector, I can get it to start showing some of the keys I put in. But, to duplicate my situation, I first create a new stack, then drag the “Label” field onto the stack, then try to set a custom property. It doesn’t work.

But, I can’t get it to either display or accept a custom property that I enter. The dropdown menu only has “customProperties” listed. If I click the little diamond symbol, I get the dialog, but it is asking for a “custom property set”. I only want to enter a single custom property. Then, it never displays the property that I put in.
