When you have a ZClass with methods, than these "methods" 
are class methods! Any change to them is seen
by all instances of the class.
I doubt that you want this.

When you really want it, you can use "instance.method.manage_edit(...)"
(at least, I expect it to work).

You may need an adapter, that reads the property sheet and
than calls a method with appropriate arguments.
