Hi Paul, The problem with the comma in a customproperty name in the Properties Inspector (PI) arises because the PI uses a treeview to display the customproperties. More specifically the "hilitedElement" to retrieve the current selection and "hilitedElement" has the form: "A comma delimited list of array keys."
Now you have a comma in your customproperty name and at that point the PI is confused as to what is the key and what is the value and fails to display both. However I wonder if treeview or PI is to blame: Page 145 of "Livecode User Guide" 9.6.10 Custom Property Names The name of a custom property must consist of a single word and may contain any combination of letters, digits, and underscores (_). The first character must be either a letter or an underscore. Page 113 of "Revolution User Guide 2.0" printed edition from 2004 Custom Property Names The name of a custom property must consist of a single word and may contain any combination of letters, digits, and underscores (_). The first character must be either a letter or an underscore. So I am afraid that treeview could not expect a comma in a customproperty name.
