There’s been many times I wished there was an array type for an object’s custom properties, where you can input several values for that one property. Would love to see that implemented one day. Thanks

Yeah, actually it was planned for the upcoming release, but got kicked forward due to a bunch of other changes getting priority. The good news is that it’s now one of the things planned for Tiled 1.6!
