How do I Create a Custom Property

[David Burgun]

Hi,

Thanks for this! I can't find any helpful information on this 
anywhere in the docs!

Ok, I have two places where I need to do something like this:

1.  I need to create a Custom Property and it to false regardless of 
whether it exists or not.

2.  I need to create a Custom Property and set it to ValueX ONLY if 
it doesn't already exist, if it does exist then I want it to be left 
untouched.

So for number 1, I just need to set the Custom Property, but for 
number 2, how can I tell if the Custom Property exists?

Also, what is the intended use of the "customKeys" and what does it 
actually save in "myCustomKeys" after executing this line:

   put the customKeys of this stack into myCustomKeys

Specifically, does it return a list/array or a string or what? How 
Can I appended to it and then set is back again using the following 
line:

    set the customKeys of this stack to myCustomKeys

Thanks for your help
Dave
