I have a shape, a rectangle that I drew on my stage with a thin line border. I deleted the border, but now I decided that I’d like to add the border back. When I go to click on border - it gives the red slanted line symbol for no border. When I click on that and then click on a swatch, it just defaults back to the red line - meaning no border.

Is there a way to simply re-add the border without having to redraw the shape from scratch?

Thanks to anyone who can help.
