I found the answer to my own question. I figured this sort of functionality
must have been one of the main reasons to create customPropertySets, so I
did a little more testing. Here's what works:
1. Set the customPropertySet of the object to the name of the property to
store the array elements into.
"set the customPropertySet of me to myArrayProp"
2. Put the array data into the customProperties property of the object
"set the customProperties of me to myArray"
Simple as pie (if you know how to do it).
Thanks Scott, this is great stuff!
