If you: set the label of fld "testField" to "XYZ"
and have, in the card script, say setProp label answer random(999) end label The control structure does not fire. If you: set the ZZTOP of fld "testField" to "XYZ" and have: setProp ZZTOP answer random(999) end ZZTOP It does. So the "label" property of a field is not a custom property, it is a built-in property. It is just not settable in the inspector, nor viewable, as has been said, like, say, button labels are.
