Newly created Platforms not appearing.

[natemac00]

I created a new Platform under the Arcade category called "PC Games" and I can't get it to appear in my platform value drop-down.

I'm running Beta 21

platforms with zero games will not list until you add something to them

Yupppppp.

Okay, so I can't just create a platform and move games over, I'd have to at least "import" one game first, then I could move the others over.

you definitely can move a game over you can simply right click a game and go to edit and change the platform there but be aware that it won't move any media assets that go with it. You can also use ctlr+a to select multiple games and do the same thing through the bulk edit window.

That's what I was trying to show in my second image, I COULD NOT go to Edit and add the game to the newly created platform with no games in it.

you should be able to type anything you want in the platform box and I just tested it and it let me create a completely new platform that I hadn't even made before.

That works too. Thanks for the help.
