Adding a brand-new option

Select Add New Option to create a key that doesn't exist yet. Enter the Option Key, pick a Value Type (Boolean, Short Text, Long Text, Long, or Double), enter an Initial Value, then select Create. If a key with the same name already exists, the create is rejected — edit the existing row instead.

Add New Option dialog on the Application Options page, with Option Key, Value Type, and Initial Value fields

The "Add New Option" dialog — creates a genuinely new key rather than editing an existing one.
