We’ve just launched [Elements 1.0.9 (23745 )](https://forums.realmacsoftware.com/t/elements-1-0-9-23745/49097) which now has syntax validation in custom components!

If syntax errors are found, they’re highlighted like a spell checker. Hopefully that’ll help you to correct any issues if the properties don’t update.
