LOL. OK,OK, I get it. Especially when I look and look and look and I can't see how to set custom-defined properties for an existing DTML Document object. It *appears* I have to create the DTML document in a script, then use the manage_addProperties function to add properties and assign values. Feels a tad indirect but I don't see property setters and getters.
Yeah, properties could have nicer interfaces... Here's a little loop I use in my edit methods when only string properties are used, assuming a form has been submitted that contains the properties you want to set the values of: REQUEST = context.REQUEST for name in ['my_prop1','my_prop2']: update = {} value = REQUEST.get(name,'') if context.hasProperty(name): update[name]=value else: context.manage_addProperty(name,value,'string') apply(context.manage_changeProperties,(),update) cheers, Chris
