did i miss something?
Hmm. That should have worked. You could try manage_changeProperties(eggs='blue') as an alternative, but the dictionary way should have worked. Did you check the property after the method had executed? Perhaps the change is not visible until the method completes, although I would not expect that to be the case...unless 'eggs' exists "closer" in the name space stack as a variable than it does as a property on the object, in which case the second dtml-var would be picking up the variable value but the manage_changeProperties will have affected property of the object it was called on. --RDM
