Short description of error
Can not add "String" attribute to mesh

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Based on the default startup or an attached .blend file (as simple as possible).

  1. add a cube
  2. go to the attribute panel, and try to add a "String" attribute

Results:

There is nothing added to the attribute.

This does not happen when adding other data types, e.g. float.

It seems string attributes are not currently supported, but it is unclear why they exist in the enum, so I will tag the developers for more information.

It is planned but not yet in development. It is not clear why this is available to the user

Why the "String" attribute is not supported on Blender 3.3.0? I have tested using Blender 3.0 and 3.2, and both work with the "String" attribute.
