I am trying to put a value into a particular line in a lines property. I thougt python list syntax would work like so:

<!--#call "propertysheets.properties.manage_changeProperties( availability[0]=REQUEST['availability'])"-->

Untested... I'm assuming your lines property is called "availability". Let's make the form variable called "newAvLine". <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('availability', [newAvLine] + availability)"> <dtml-call ""propertysheets.properties.manage_changeProperties(REQUEST)"> This is specifically if you want to add an item to the beginning of the list. I think you'll have to do trickery with slices in order to put something in the middle... (something like <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('availability', availability[0:i] + newAvLine + availability[i:]"> I don't think you can really do any kind of variable assignments in DTML other than REQUEST.set.
