Hello,
How can I make a property look the same as in the Stretch Wrapper model (see attached image)?
I couldn’t find this symbol in the property editor. How can I create a property like this? Can anyone help me?
Hello, some property types can only be created from Python. That’s because using these property types in component’s logic requires scripting anyways.
That one’s a component reference property. Create a Python script behaviour, run the following script and delete the script afterwards.
Here’s documentation on different property types’ type constants that are needed when a property is created by Python: Constants

Thank you, now it’s working. But I have one more Question: When I save it as a Model in component, the property value becomes Null. The previously selected component is not showing anymore. How can I make sure that the selected component stays linked and does not get removed when saving as a component? Like Stretch Wrapper.
The trick in Stretch Wrapper is that the referenced default component (“PlasticWrap”) is actually attached to the component as a child. This way, the PlasticWrap component is saved and loaded with the component.
The component reference does not actually become null when the component is saved. It only becomes null when loading the component, if the referenced component is not in the 3D world.

Hi,
How can I attach to a component as a child?
I created a PlasticWrap and added it into my model, but when I save the model as a component and reopen it, the PlasticWrap does not appear in the saved component.
I attached the PlasticWrap as a child and saved it. when I save it again as a component and reopen, the PlasticWrap is no longer attached to the parent.
Which one of the components did you save?
-When you save the parent component (wrapper), child components are saved with it
-When you save the child component (wrap), parent component is not saved with it
