Hello,
I'm tring tu use Blender for editing IFC files and it works very well for changing the classes, creating some BuildingStorey but I have some difficulties to create new property sets.
I tried to reproduce this topic without success : https://forums.buildingsmart.org/t/using-more-than-ifcpropertysinglevalue-and-creating-new-property-sets-and-properties-in-ifc/3379
I can create my property set like this :
But after when I select an object there is no properties in the set (code GMAO) :
Do you have an idea about this ?

You seems to have made a property set template. Have you tried pressing the edit button to the top right of that property box?

Make sure you've saved your changes back to the property set template file (the icon next to "Sample_Template" in your first screenshot) and then restart Blender.
I think we need to improve the UX a lot here.

Thanks, it works for me !
I'm trying to make a real life project for my company and it's true I pass a lot of time to learn how to use this nice add-on.
It will improve his success to have more tutorials for beginners. I can imagine some small text and picture tutorial : "How to create properties ?", "How to create a new IfcBuildingStorey using Add -> Plan Axis ?" etc
I also understand it takes time so if I'im successful with my project I could help you to write some tuto. Now I think I can help a lot of people in asking you some questions :-)

I have now a problem with an exsiting object on which I can't edit the properties : The pen symbole is absent.
I try to created an new object and the properties editing was working. But the previous one no way.

I finally succeed. I think because I have to arase my old property, save the ifc and proceed again.

@Yoann I've recently tackled a bunch of bugs and usability issues related to the pset_template module, recent builds should perform a lot better. Thanks for the reports!
