new manage custom properties unable to create drop-down text list Orion 2020.2.6

I am unable to create a drop-down list of existing text entries in the new Orion 2020.2.6 manage Custom Properties view.

It is still possible to do this for the same Custom Property by switching to the legacy CP editor using the three dots at the top right of the Custom Properties dashboard.

If you encounter this problem, try switching to the legacy view to create the desired drop-down list.

@terryk Can you elaborate on the issue a bit? If you have a Custom Property that existed prior to the upgrade with a list of values that also already existed, that same Custom Property along with associated values should be present regardless of which version you selected. You can add to that list, or delete them no differently than before. The screen on the list appears to be missing the same values you have on the right, or awaiting input. Do you receive an error toast message or anything in the top right when attempting to save? Please clarify if I have misinterpreted something.

Hi jblankjblank,

The list of five test entries already exists for that custom property, but not as a drop-down list. I would like to change the list into a drop-down selection instead of free text.

The old CP manager on the right allows this, but the new one on the left does not. When I tick 'Create a drop-down list' the new one does not see the existing five entries, but the old one can see the five entries and creates the required drop-down list from them.

I hope that clears up any confusion.
