The short version: a Zcatalog search returns *proxy* objects and the attrs of the proxy object contain only the values of the original object where you have configured a metadata in the Zcatalog.
Having read the Zope 2.7 ZCatalog chapter, I think I can say there's always been a metadata column called "jobname".
Could be it looks like there is a metadata column 'jobname' but i reality you created a column with name 'jobname ' or ' jobname'. Hth, Michael -- http://zope.org/Members/d2m http://planetzope.org
