How add property on object(.gsm) with out library(.xml, .tpl) file?

I want to modify and use the existing object.

 

The issue is with the property section on the object details page.

 

I want the property to be displayed alongside the object without needing to add an .xml or .tpl file.

 

When opening a new project file, I want it to appear as in [Image 1] without adding anything.
([Image 1] is actually when the .tpl file is loaded. Without loading the .tpl file, it appears as in [Image 2].)

 

Modifying the GDL object script is also acceptable. If anyone knows how to do this, please let me know...

 

(The sentence may not be smooth due to using a translator.)

The properties shown in your screenshot are not controlled by the GSM object but through the Property Manager. There, you can add and edit properties as needed. Note that properties are made available to elements via classifications, so make sure the property is enabled for the classification you are using in your objects.

 

See help for more information: Property Manager

Create all those Properties in a Template file. When you start a new project, select the Template file, so the Project is based on the Template, and all those Properties will be available for elements.
