IDE Property Editor for Custom Properties error

This bug probably won't impact many people, but I just reported bug https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=23712 In older versions of LC you could have custom property keys that had commas in them, such as a key like "topic,subtopic" for a online help system. The current (and recent)

Hi. An array variable is just a variable, it is not a property. You cannot “make” one into the other. So, basically, put the pArrayName[pElementName] of button “button” is just syntax that does not exist in the lexicon, for the above reason. Craig > On Oct 25, 2021, at 11:18 PM, Neville

Accessing array custom properties

Is there a logic behind the following? I want the values of a custom property which is an array: to take a specific example the dropShow of button “button” and I want the specific element color Of course I can write: put the dropShadow of button “button” into aa; put aa[color] Conveniently
