Hi,  
I have a question like the topic. Here is how i do

- First i added a new Tile layer.

- Then i add a new Tileset (Type:Based on Tileset Image, Embed in map checked) -\> OK.

- As in the picture, when i clicked on the tile, The button Add Property was gray out.

- So i click on Edit Tileset and in it, i add properties for each Tile, Ctrl+S.

- When i comeback to my Map nothing changed, the Tile i edited don’t have any new properties.

Did i do it all wrong?

Ok, thanks guys i found the solution. For all those who have same probs as me (may be not many ) In edit tile set, click the Terrains icon, the picture icon next to the blue rect and circle, then add custom properties for tile in there.

In fact, the important bit is that you should not open the _Tile Collision Editor_. This is a common stumbling block since it means you’re adding custom properties to the implicit “Object Layer” attached to a tile for adding collision shapes.

In the upcoming release of Tiled I will take out this functionality since it serves no real purpose and has already confused multiple people. It just isn’t entirely trivial so I haven’t yet found the best way to remove it.

I’m sorry for the confusion caused!
