I can see it here for an appropriate file, though it's not called Mark file executable.

I have a text script marked with leading meaningful name and no file
extension.
My customary action is to get into the file Properties and Permission. On
the Permission Tab besides the User, Group, and Other read/write controls,
there is supposed to be one other check box for whether the file is
executable. Since this is not present, I must issue by command chmod +x
filename in order to turn on proper flag. Please advise if I need to send a
screens hot if this description is insufficient.

Attaching screenshot of issue. If you notice, there is no additional check
box for whether the file is Executable. I do not have this problem with the

Not sure the name of the file would make the slightest difference, the content will. I don't see the option for a file I'd not expect to mark executable.

Assuming the file's not private or the like - attach it and I'll see if I see the same as you here.

I'll confirm it - but I'm not sure it's actually a thunar bug.

I am not sure what to respond other than to observe.
I have a default utility of Thunar being called under the current Daily
Drop of Ubuntu Studio 16.04.
I expect it to be able to set an Executable Attribute for the File within
this utility rather than having to control that attribute with either a
another File Manager utility or via Unix Command Line.
If Thunar is expected to control this setting then it is not currently
doing so and I consider this a bug.
If Thunar does not support controlling or displaying this setting, the
authors of this Utility missed this functionality when setting the goals.
Regardless, this renders the default Utility not usable and I am forced to
seek alternatives such as using Dolphin or Command Line.
Obviously, I would prefer to use the Default Utility rather than to perform
work arounds.

Had a discussion about the difference between how Thunar/Dolphin treat files. Seem to be design choice.

FWIW, adding a shebang (eg. #!/bin/bash) as the first line in the file allows the file to be marked executable in Thunar.

Merely adding a shebang does not always work. It must be one that the system "understands" so #!/bin/sh works but #!/usr/bin/rtb will not, unless someone adds rtb to the list of known executable types.
