I've defined a custom property on PERAttribute (object type 2003) -- and I also tried with PERAttributeOR10 -- but it doesn't appear in "DataField" list when using a "Data" component like DataEdit, or in columns of a DataVirtualGrid whose DataList is set to Entity --\> Attributes. The custom property is set as "Store" and "Editable". I'm trying to edit the form with "Customize form as ... --\> Same package where metamodel is". This used to work in Toad 5.4 and it works for PERDomain on Toad 6.5. ---

Hi Tommaso\_Sala, We will fix this problem (TDM-5452). I bring workaround for you. You can DataList edit without choosing in list - you can write name of your custom property. Regards Petr ---

Ok, thanks. I already workarounded it by directly writing the `` tag in the TXG, didn't know I could write directly without choosing in the list. I also noted that also some native property are missing with regard to Toad 5, don't know if this is intentional. Please check this out: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/quest/original/2X/b/b1383c251dae9a981645dce6ca02eb7959f93aeb.png) (the one deleted with red pen is the custom one) Some of them seemed to be useful for some cases. ---

Currently there are showing entity properties - this is a bug. Regards Petr ---

I want to report that I also tried the new 7.0 version, but it suffer from all the issues I recently filed.
