2. The behavior you were expecting to see: The add property link always showing/accessible
3. A list of the steps you took that exposed the issue: Added session custom properties, after adding a couple/few it would “disappear” and not reappear until I clicked off the session custom properties and back on, some times more than once.
4. A list of helpful information about the situation you were in, such as:  
Ignition is the nightly build as of 08:00 MST 11-12-2018

Java is 1.8.0\_191

The difficulty in selecting the “+” icon is something we’re all frustratingly aware of, and it is being addressed as part of our planned UI tweaks. I don’t have an ETA for when it will be “fixed”.

**Note:** Please be careful using “right-click \> Insert”, as depending on where the click falls you might be inserting a new property into an existing object, or you might be adding the property at the session.custom level.
