here's something fun for you to try:
run the script twice. example: take the stack you submitted with the bug
report and execute preOpenStack from the message box, after the initial
failure.
It still fails for me under rc2, but I get the following in the message box:
Message execution error:
Error description: Object Name:
Hint: card id 1002 of stack "C:/Users/paul/Desktop/FreqReport.livecode"
Puzzling, but still a regression from 968 to 969 of LC. I should not
have to rename my Datagrid objects for it to work (if that is even what
the errors mean!). It's only 6:30pm where I am but my brain is already
fried from today's work. I'll have to let this set until tomorrow at the
earliest.
In my dreams tonight, I'll hope that I will wake up in the morning to a
solution somebody else came up with :-)

there's another option, which is to investigate the polygrid. i've been
messing with it, because it does seem to be faster than a dg.
but first, i don't think i can resist trying to see why this is breaking.
if i do (and, instead work on this app i'm working on), it will
demonstrate the sort of self-control that i'm legendarily lacking. OOH!
SHINY!

Hi Mike,
I suspect some change was made in the Datagrid scripts, such as a move
of some code from a stack to a script-only stack or some engine change
in how comparisons are done, variables interpreted, etc. that
inadvertently impacted the Datagrid code, but while we use a lot of
Datagrids, I have never really tried to follow or understand the
internal scripts and I'd can't invest the time just now (too much else
taking priority). I have I think, clearly demonstrated this is a
regression - code works under LC 9.6.8 and fails under LC 9.6.9rc2, so
it's now up to Livecode, Ltd. (or yourself IF you want to dive right in
;-) to solve the bug.
Our choice boils down to [A] Build under 9.6.8 and not have a fix for
the Non-Gregorian calendar crash under macOS which was fixed in 969rc2
OR [B] wait until LC staff or someone fixes this and we find no other
regression in 9.6.9. I think we've now found 3 regressions in 3 weeks,
which is not a good sign for 9.6.9.
BTW, thank you again for your help with the Ask and Answer regressions!

is this in a built app or interpreted?
the "silent fail" has been a feature of LC apps on mobile for a decade.
i wonder if these issues are both caused by some stack moving from
binary
to SOS. the ask dialog certainly was migrated to an SOS, recently.
i see you included a recipe stack in the bug report. just like with the
ask
dialog, the temptation to dive in might be too great for me...

Anyone else having problems with:
set the dgProp["someProperty"] of grp "someDatagrid"
under LC 9.6.9rc2 vs LC 9.6.8?
In bug https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=24046 were seeing
lines of script where we set the dgProp of a datagrid just stop (like
it
hit and 'exit to top'). The same code works without stopping in LC
9.6.8
and consistently fails in 9.6.9rc2.
Just wondering if anyone else has run into this. I did not see a
specific bug reported against 9.6.9rc2 that might have been this issue
before reporting it.
