I guess:
   <dtml-call "_[userid].propertysheets[1].manage_changeProperties(REQUEST)">
   <dtml-in "objectValues(['zclassuser'])">
   <dtml-var reindex_object></dtml-in>
will work, too.

In the case, that does not work, you call "reindex_object"
for the object for which the DTML code was called (probably a folder).
This is not the same as the object changed
"_[userid]". Otherwise, you would have been able to
omit this "_[userid]".

In the working case, you call "reindex_object" for each
of your class instances. This includes obviously the
one that has been changed.
