What happens next

The register and the public menu are refreshed, because modifier options and prices ride inside the register's item list and the public menu. Other devices are told only on plans with live sync.
Open an item in Products, go to its Modifiers tab, and attach the modifier. From then on the register asks for this choice when the item is added to an order.

Edge cases

Add at least one option. Save stays disabled until you add and fill in one. A Multiple modifier needs its smallest and largest number of picks.
Each option needs a name and a price. The smallest number of picks may not be above the largest.
The code. It is the code you type, or the name in lowercase with dashes. A number is added when the code is taken, counted across every store. A code another modifier in your store already has is refused. After deleting modifiers, a generated number can match a code your store already has, and an import matches by code, so check imported rows.
The largest number of picks is not checked against how many options you have, so a limit above the option count is accepted.
Server errors show as a banner on this screen, not beside the fields.
A modifier hidden from customers still shows on the online menu when it is Required.
