I'm trying to add case properties to the Case List and Case Detail screens of a recently built module, but there are only 4 case properties that are appearing as options (name, #owner_id, date-opened, and one additional property that I created). There are at least 7 other case properties that are not appearing in either the Case List or Case Detail drop-down menus. 

Thanks for the help!

Hi Eric,

Have you set the case type for the new module to be the same as the module where you originally saved the case properties?

Hey Jeremy,

This is the only module with this case type. I did a bulk import of the cases and case properties and matched them to this case type. I can actually select case properties in the Case List and Case Detail screens by typing them in manually, but they still don't appear in the drop-down menu.

Hi Eric,

Interesting - does the app also have those properties saved as case properties in the app configuration? I'm not totally confident but it may be that case properties that are created via import do not show up in the drop down unless they are also in the app configuration. Sounds like typing them in is a good workaround.

No, they're not, but when I try loading them into the form through hidden values in case management I'm running into the same problem - only 'name' appears on the list. Yeah, typing them in works just fine. 

Thanks!
