There was no such property before and your changelog does not explain
it. Don't add new stuff silently in new versions.

There are several issues with this - missing dscription (you just copied
name of property!), unneeded quotes, using underscore, incorrect name
suffix... but what's the most important - what is the justification to
put it into DT? IOW, why this is suitable for DT?
