Kieran,

would you like to add this to the Jasper framework? the only 'change' I had to 
make was from your comment:

 this.theObjectGID = theObject.globalID() // or use 
theObject.editingContext().globalIDForObject( theObject );

I had to use:  theObject.editingContext().globalIDForObject( theObject );

or it complained.

Ted
