How to from GUI
SUMMARY
***
In Plasma 6 with new very much improved Panel, I am unable to set property
"Length" through API Scripting.
I am also unable to find documentation on all of the Plasma 6 Panel's
properties that can be used through API Scripting.
Tried the following documentation:
https://userbase.kde.org/Plasma/Create_a_Global_Theme_Package
https://userbase.kde.org/Plasma/How_to_create_a_Unity-like_look_and_feel_theme_using_Plasma%E2%80%99s_Desktop_Scripting_API
https://develop.kde.org/docs/plasma/
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use org.kde.plasma.desktop-layout.js to create a Global Theme, which
creates, among other things, a bottom Panel ("Floating Dock" to be more
precise).
2. From the following section:
// Create bottom panel (Dock)
const dock = new Panel
// Basic Dock Geometry
dock.alignment = “center”
dock.height = Math.round(gridUnit * 2.8);
dock.hiding = “windowscover”
dock.location = “bottom”
dock.panelLength = 1
dock.maximumLenth = 1000
dock.minimumLength = 250
Try various possibilities for the line "dock.panelLength = 1" (panelLengthMode,
length, lengthMode, etc…).
3. Remove the Max and Min length lines (last 2) from the script above and try
step 2 again.
OBSERVED RESULT
The Panel does not Fit Content and remain "Fill Width" in all 8 tries.
EXPECTED RESULT
File ~/.config/plasmashellrc should have a line with "panelLengthMode = 1"
under [PlasmaViews][Panel nnn] section, where "nnn" is a number.
See attached screenshot for what I am trying to achieve, which is extremely
easy through GUI, but I need to set it through API.
Thank you very much for your guidance!

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I don't believe there is a bug here, at least not at this moment judging how
not far I went with it. :)
