Please Note: Creating a custom property and enabling it does not mean that it will automatically be shown to all roles immediately. This functionality was designed this way. You must now access the Tools > Role Permission Sets and select which role(s) should be able to see the custom property. To do so, select the Property Permissions tab, and enable the property.
