Thanks for the hint.

'Z' is indeed a special case. All properties with label 'Z' are not displayed in the property editor (since QCAD is a 2D CAD and altering Z values would lead to unexpected behavior).
This should of course not apply to custom properties though - I will look into that.

This issue has been fixed for the next release.

If you are comfortable with editing source files, you can apply the fix to your installed version of QCAD:
https://github.com/qcad/qcad/commit/8da ... 4d1c1bad6a

I.e., change line 521 in file scripts/Widgets/PropertyEditor/PropertyEditor.js to:
if (title==="Z" && !propertyTypeId.isCustom()) {
