Only allow Property to be visible in Designer?

I have the code to show a property in the designer, but it requries a corresponding property in the blocks editor. Is there any way to only show the property in the designer?

For example, I have this, which I want:

image

@DesignerProperty
  //(description = "The AppID to use")
  public void AppId(String id) {
    if (!appId.equals(id)) {
      appId = id;
    }
    if (appId.equals("")){
      throw new RuntimeException("appID property cannot be blank.");
    }
  }

but I also have to have this, which I do not want:

image

@SimpleProperty(description = "The AppID to use")
  public String AppId() {
    return appId;
  }

What do I need to change in my @SimpleProperty ? I am using RUSH as my extension builder.

You'll have to set userVisible param to false.

OK thanks, how and where ?

Just after description, separated by a comma.

Many thanks, works as indicated

@SimpleProperty(description = "The AppID to use", userVisible = false)
  public String AppId() {
    return appId;
  }

but you probably like to obfuscate the app id, which would not be possible anymore if that property is only available in the designer?

More about "forcing the issue" for developers of setting an AppId. There is no need for the block in the Blocks Editor.
