Hi all. Im on the free version. I have added a new property successfully, but when I try to add the newly created property as a column to my contact list, it does not appear as an option. Does anyone know how to get round this or does this require an upgrade?

Hi @PracticeCRMer,

If you created the property very recently (a few minutes ago), this is not unusual. Give it a few more minutes and after 30 minutes at the very latest, you should be able to add the column. This is a recent phenomenon. It used to be instant.

Best regards
