Interesting.  I never considering this before.  What limitations of property nodes are you referring to with the use of Strict Type defs?

The "THIS" is the two prior posts. First using 1D or 2D arrays AND using strict typedef.

Both together solve my question. Since the number of replies was minimal I thought the solution was obvious.

Hope that helps.

I don't doubt what you say.  I have just never run into this situation yet.  But thanks for the tip.  I'll keep it in mind.
