Thanks for sending the details in a minimal executable format. Made it much easier to play around.

The issue is that the sh:condition must apply to the focus node(s), which means that before a rule is applied, the focus node must not violate any constraints from the node shape that is the sh:condition. In your example, the sh:sparql constraint will be violated, because

      PREFIX : <http://example.org/ex#>

      SELECT $this
      WHERE {
        $this :MyObjProp ?prop .
      }

in SHACL means that it will produce a constraint violation for each result in the SELECT query. In your example data, it would produce one violation for each value of MyObjProp, of which there are plenty.

Maybe you meant to say WHERE { FILTER NOT EXISTS { $this :MyObjProp ?anyProp } } instead, to check that the focus node has *no* value for that property?

The example ontology has two classes (:MyClass and :Value) and two properties (:MyObjProp and:MyDataProp).

:MyClass
  a owl:Class ;
  a sh:NodeShape ;
rdfs:subClassOf owl:Thing ;
.
:MyDataProp
  a owl:DatatypeProperty ;
  rdfs:domain :MyClass ;
  rdfs:range xsd:string ;
.
:MyObjProp
  a owl:ObjectProperty ;
  rdfs:domain :MyClass ;
  rdfs:range :Value ;
.
:Value
  a owl:Class ;
rdfs:subClassOf owl:Thing ; .

Some instances were added.

:MyClass_1
  a :MyClass ;
  :MyDataProp :Value_1 ;
  :MyObjProp :Value_1 ; .
  :MyClass_2 a :MyClass ;
  :MyObjProp :Value_2 ;
.
:Value_1
  a :Value ;
.
:Value_2
  a :Value ;
.

A NodeShape :NodeShapeRule with a sh:rule (:SPARQLRule_1) was created. This rule creates new triples. With the sh:condition the rule should be restricted to a subset of targets.

:NodeShapeRule
  a sh:NodeShape ;
  sh:rule :SPARQLRule_1 ;
sh:targetClass :MyClass ;
.
:SPARQLRule_1
  a sh:SPARQLRule ;
  sh:condition :NodeShapeConditionSPARQL ;
  sh:construct """
     PREFIX : <http://example.org/ex#>
     CONSTRUCT {
        $this :MyDataProp \"New input\" .
     }
     WHERE {
        $this :MyObjProp ?p .
     }
  """ ;
.

For the restriction two equivalent NodeShapes were defined. The first constraint works with sh:property, the other uses sh:sparql.

:NodeShapeConditionProperty
  a sh:NodeShape ;
  sh:property [
    sh:path :MyObjProp ;
sh:description "NodeShapeConditionProperty" ;
    sh:hasValue :Value_1 ;
  ] ;
sh:targetClass :MyClass ;
.
:NodeShapeConditionSPARQL
  a sh:NodeShape ;
  sh:sparql [
    sh:message "NodeShapeConditionSPARQL" ;
    sh:prefixes <http://example.org/ex> ;
    sh:select """
      PREFIX : <http://example.org/ex#>
      SELECT $this
      WHERE {
        $this :MyObjProp ?prop .
      }
    """ ;
  ] ;
sh:targetClass :MyClass ;
.

While doing inferencing with Topbraid Composer I received different results for both solutions. Only the solution with sh:property provides the expected response. Please, can anyone explain me this behavior?

:MyClass_1 :MyDataProp "New input"
