Tracking comet C/2018 y1 Iwamoto was created by Patrick

I try to find a way to add this comet to the list of objects in kstars. It looks like the finder is not able to find the informations for C/2018 Y1 Iwamoto on internet.
Is there a way to proceed ?
Thanks

I just updated comet data (Data->Updates->Update comets orbital elements menu in KStars) a few days ago and it shows up in normal search list as C/2018 Y1 (Iwamoto) and seems to be accurate, showed up well centered in my field.

Yes. Simply update the Comet orbital elements and it will show up in Find Objects.
