Description

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

Adding one property Memo → Name

Usage

Launch the macro, select one Draft object, complete the fields and apply. A new property is created in Combo view → Property → Data tab.

• Property title : Property title (group name) for the new property (Default: Memo).

• Property name : Name for the new property.

• {{CheckBox|TRUE|UnCheck for String}}: Checkbox that determines the memo type. Check the checkbox to change the type to string instead of list.

• Memo : Property title: {{Value|Memo}}.
• Name : Property name: {{Value|Name}}.
• The field is empty
