Peter, I just tested your code exactly as-is and all the variables have the expected values. I used 17.2 on Mac. What version/platform did you test on? I've sent you a screenshot directly.

Hi Using the v17 dot notation I was unable to get one object to inherit another’s properties using the assignment operator. Also when I inspect $dog in the debugger after assigning the first property, it appears empty. Code is: C_OBJECT($animal;$dog;$cat) $dog:=New object $cat:=New object $dog.sound:="bark" $cat.sound:="meow" $animal:=$dog $getSound:=$animal.sound Running this in the debugger, $dog and $cat return “{}”, yet hovering over $dog.sound with the cursor does display the property value. $animal.sound returns undefined. Why does this not work ?
