Have been referencing the manual and realized a whole parameter is missing – is this a known bug in 8.1?

Change to all (B - basic)

I don't know who created this option to select different level of view for property, but that what ignition has.

IA fixed this I believe in 8.3? I.e. they removed the option that defaults to hiding critical properties entirely. I’m pretty sure every person new to Ignition has run into this and it’s frustrating

I noticed this after searching up some other vision-related threads. it would definitely help if it was mentioned in the manual 👌

As Nick mentioned, this misguided attempt at simplifying things was removed entirely in 8.3.

Just wait till you are an old geezer like me--the list of screw ups in a near 40y career is embarrassing.
