I would like this newProperty to have the value aq_parent.title. But
newProperty = Implicit.aq_parent.title
Does not work. Can it be done?
Since this is a custom product, there may be an easier way to do this: Make newProperty a class attribute instead of an instance property: ---------- # top of head, untested from Acquisition import aq_parent class foo(various_base_classes): ... def my_parent_title(self): try: return aq_parent(self).title except: raise 'AttributeError', '%s has no parent or the parent has no title' % self.id newProperty = self.my_parent_title ---------- That way, all you'll have to do to get this attribute is refresh the product... no updating necessary. Also, even if an instance gets moved, your attribute should return correctly. HTH, Dylan
