Back in 2010, I created several optional properties in pipes for labeling purposes.
The file I modified is: AeccPartParamCfg.xml
I have migrated this file to 2011, 2012, 2013 without any issue.
In 2014, I am getting a runtime error for one of the optional properties and therfore that option is no longer working.
Has anyone else created optional properties and run into problems in 2014?
Works fine in all my previous releases of Civil 3D using the same parameter file.
Attached is the Parameter file and error at startup.
I have had thios problem too. Same error on start up. I have looked into it, appears that it really doesnt affect anything but more of an annoyance.
Finally got mine to work by doing this:
In the file AeccPartParamCfg.xml remove the lines in the "Part Properties" that pertain to the custom properties you have. in your case it would be
"<AeccDfParameter name="Covr" desc="Cover" context="Cover" index="0" datatype="String" usage="String_Name" unit="" visible="True" internal="True" />"
Now we need to add a line to the AeccSharedPropertyLists.xml in your pipes folder. (or the structure folder. Whatever property you are adding.)
<ColumnConstList desc="Cover" dataType="string" unit="" name="Covr" id="CCL1" visible="1" context="Cover" index="0">
<Item id="i0">Standard</Item>
</ColumnConstList>
In the Item id=0 part, you can either make your list here, or in the individual part xml.
Here is a link to another thread that might help you as well.

I think we are talking about 2 different things.

I had tried changing that as well, but the error still appeared.
When I changed the xml files, the error went away.
