sorry for spamming the list with loser questions but this one has had me stumped for hours and I am not even sure what to look for anymore:

<dtml-call "z958063364.manage_changeProperties({'children' : 90})">

this line is in a dtml method in a folder with a lot of instances of a class. one instance is: z958063364 the class has a property sheet with a property called children I want to change its value.

Eventually I want to have it dynamically fill in the gaps so that it will calll any particular instance with something like this:

<dtml-call "_['parent_id'].manage_changeProperties({'children' : gchildren+12})">

have you tried (untested, I don't quite understand what you try to do) <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('gchildren', gchildren+12)"> <dtml-call "_.getitem(parent_id).manage_changeProperties(REQUEST)"> also see http://zdp.zope.org/projects/zsnippet/snippets/DTMLContent/getobject_by_refe rence Rik
