I've seen discussions about this before through the mailing lists, especially with regard to backup/restore, but I'm not sure of the resolution. Anyway, is there a way to override/bypass the protected attribute of a property definition? In my scenario, if I have a property named foo:created and want to transfer a file from another system, I don't want the foo:created date to be the date the node was created, but rather the date the actual file was created. Similarly for migration and archive/restore scenarios. Is there a mechanism to do this or is it left to the application to manage the attributes of the property above the repository?
