It will include the ability to display and edit properties within the main lcStackBrowser window. As part of that functionality, users can define property groups to include whatever properties they wish. In turn, that is achieved by drag/drop from a list of properties for an object type to a list of properties within each of their property groups they specify. Hope that explains the final goal :-) At the moment, I am using a similar technique to yours where I start of by getting the keys of the properties than add in a hard coded list of missing properties for the object. That's OK but suffers from the downside that every time a new release of LC comes out with new properties that perhaps is not included in "the properties" (and there have been quite a few recently), my list is out of date and I would have to put out a new release simply to include the new properties. The issue of synonyms is part of but separate from all that. I have now figured out how to get a list of the synonyms for any given property from Bjornke's db (what an invaluable plugin!), at least to the extent that the information in the dictionary is accurate.
