That doesn't sound right. Try this:: <dtml-call "test.manage_changeProperties({'msg': 'blablabla'})"> -- Alexander Staubo http://www.mop.no/~alex/ "`Ford, you're turning into a penguin. Stop it.'" --Douglas Adams, _The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy_

well, i was close to assume that it could be like that (i guess, i even tried it accidentally).

nevertheless, if i change the line respecting your suggestion, all i get is "blablabla" in the property "msg" of the *folder* called "newbie".

i agree with you that it sounds bloody logical and that it *should* work like that. but the "msg" property in the dtml-document "test" still remains the original value.

what else could i do wrong???`

This is *almost* right. It attempts to change a property of 'test' named 'test.msg'. Since 'test' has no such property, this fails silently. You want:

<dtml-with test> <dtml-call "manage_changeProperties ({'msg': 'blablabla'})"> </dtml-with>
