You get the color picker if the "schema" behind the particular property editor says "x.y.z.color is a type: color property". So it won't show up for arbitrary custom properties, no matter what you name them, but it _should_ show up for all first party properties where you enter a color. That's the bug that I was alluding to in my earlier post. Since it sounds like you're asking for the ability to define a custom schema _for arbitrary properties_, which would be a new feature, you're actually asking for something that we're already tracking internally; see: > [@\[IGN-1537\]Perspective Component param tooltips](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/ign-1537-perspective-component-param-tooltips/53226): > > Is there any way that we can supply these tooltips for our own View custom params? If not, can this be added as a feature? This would be invaluable for passing resources around to other colleagues (and even yourself 6months down the track when your well-named param at the time isn’t so obvious now confused ) [image] --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/sub-item-in-menu-component-doesnt-detect-color-field/29554)._
