How to use a custom conditional compilation symbol with Visual Studio 2017?

In VS2017 I have defined a conditional compilation symbol 'APPSTORE'.

enter image description here

However the compiler is not recognizing the symbol. Notice the APPSTORE code is disabled.

What is the proper way to use conditional compilation symbols?

Instead of a semicolon, I have tried a comma as well...

APPSTORE,__UNIFIED__;__MOBILE__;__IOS__;

The code I was trying to control was in a different assembly than the assembly where I set the conditional compilation symbol. Once I entered the symbol in the correct project, it behaved as expected. Thanks to @SushiHangover!
