2. Select Add > By Devices > Text Type.
3. Enter a descriptive Property Name.
4. Enter the Default Value to filter against.

5. You can enter a default value, leave it blank, or use a placeholder like "Not defined" to spot properties that haven’t been updated.

The custom property is applied to devices based on the selected Operating Systems and Device Classes. You can update the value for individual devices as needed.
