Description
This macro creates an additional Property (memo or other text) for your object (works only with Draft objects).

- Property title : Property title (group name) for the new property (Default: Memo).
- Property name : Name for the new property.
UnCheck for String : Checkbox that determines the memo type. Check the checkbox to change the type to string instead of list.

- Memo : Property title:
Memo. - Name : Property name:
