Indesign 2022 Object States - Add Empty State missing

"I meant the option in the pane menu as shown here."

If your screenshot is from a previous version still installed, you may find a startup script that adds this functionality.

Startup scripts can be found in the Scripts folder of the InDesign Application folder or a subfolder in your personal Scripts folder in your user's preferences of that particular InDesign version.

My bad. Apologies both. I didnt mean to say button. I meant the option in the pane menu as shown here.

There has never been such a command natively. Perhaps you were using a third party script or extension.

Object States Assistance does add this command and it's free: https://www.automatication.com/product/osa/

Hi Russ,

as far as I know there never was a button to add an empty state to an MSO.

You may have used a script that added the functionality.

Here a screenshot from my German InDesign CS6 version 8 where you cannot see a button to add an empty state:
