Hey guys, a few months ago I started programming in Corel. I added 4 or 5 fields to the Object Data, and I remember there being some difficultly with getting them to show in the Docker compared when to I was entering them in the Field Editor. I don't remember how exactly I got them to display. Maybe a close and reopen of Corel.
Fast forward to now, and I am unable to Create New Field. I click "Create New Field," it takes me to a blank line that I cannot type in. I double click the field and cannot type. I even tried to add the new data fields via VBA and as soon as I "add them," they do not exist, haha.
Is there something I am missing? Anyone else experience this?

What version of CorelDRAW are you running?
Corel 2019 (64 BIT)
Version 21.3.0.755
OK, I'm stumped. I can "Create New Field", but I can't figure out how to type in a name for it.
If I "Create New Field" after creating the first "blank" one, CorelDRAW crashes.
I can add here that I have a macro that uses a couple of custom datafields (and creates those data fields, if they aren't already present in the document).
I had not tried that macro in 2019, but after reading your post here, I just did - and it does not work correctly. It generates an error when it tries to use a custom datafield that it just tried to create.
It's bizarre, isn't it? What you are experiencing is exactly my dilemma. I will update here if I find a solution.
