I'm trying to add a property to the properties tab of the "Text Page" document type, but I can only seem to add new tabs. How do I add properties to the already existing Property tab?
However, this is very confusing because the Fanoe starter package appears to do this, but after looking at the database it would appear it's actually 'hacked' into working...
I'm using Umbraco version 7.4.2 assembly: 1.0.5921.28477
The screenshot below shows what I see in the Landing Page Document Type in the settings area. That "Generic properties" tab appears in the properties tab when editing a page. - looking in the database this actually has a "propertyTypeGroupId" of null in the "cmsPropertyType" table.
The reason why you see properties in the generic property tab when you are using the Fanoe Starter kit, is because the starter kit has been created for an earlier version of Umbraco CMS where it was possible to add properties to the generic tab.
So we have just make sure that you can use the Fanoe starter kit with the new versions of Umbraco too. Like Umbraco 7.4.2
How to add properties to the properties tag
Hey guys,
I'm trying to add a property to the properties tab of the "Text Page" document type, but I can only seem to add new tabs. How do I add properties to the already existing Property tab?
Hi Antonio and welcome to our :-)
You can´t add properties to the generic tab this is by design in Umbraco 7.4. Try see. http://issues.umbraco.org/issue/U4-7699
But you can add more than one property to a tab, try to see this video. https://umbraco.tv/videos/umbraco-v7/implementor/fundamentals/document-types/tabs-and-properties/
Hope this helps,

Okay thank you.

Which exact version of Umbraco are you using?

Hi Dennis, that's fine. I wanted to make sure there wasn't something obvious that I was missing.
So for the version of Umbraco I'm using, the "Properties" tab is not editable, but I can add another tab if I wish. That makes sense.
Thank you very much Dennis.
