[Zope] addProperty type=selection (half fixed)

[Lee Marzke]

I added quotes around 'mytypes' and the error went away.  I guess that
"selection" needs a variable name, not it's value.

<dtml-call "manage_addProperty( 'Type', 'mytypes', type='selection' ) " >

Now I am trying to set the value of property 'Type' :

<dtml-call "manage_changeProperties( Type=selectedType ) " >

This doesn't give an error, but the Type property is always the first listed
in the associated lines property, and never changes.

Is the syntax for manage_changeProperties correct ?

Thanks,
