No crashes or errors, I just didn’t get back the data I expected.
Does it really have anything to do with message paths?
I just expected
the long id of field1 of card 1
to do what it says, that is, to return a specifier to (the instance of) field 1
on card 1. At the time I was iterating through all substacks and controls in a
stack and wanted a specifier which would work for substacks as well as objects
so the long id was the natural choice.
I understand why the long id of a group has to contain a reference to the
current card or the first card containing the group, but in this case I am
actually specifying the card reference I want, so it *could* return what I
expected, it just doesn’t. Tough cheese. (Oops, I mentioned c…..)
