Scripting: Distinguishing dotted properties of same type

Solved!
Go to solution

Consider this Property Node. There are three properties of the same type, but they belong to different "dotted" values. The property items returned from a reference to this node shows all three are the same base property, with the same property ID. This seems to preclude programatically rearranging these properties (which is what I'm trying to achieve).

Is there a way to tell these apart?

Turns out you can tell these apart by using a deprecated property, which I was alerted to in this post:

 

https://lavag.org/topic/20722-programmatically-set-a-property-item/

 

This deprecated property allows you to get dotted properties by name and set them by ID or name. It's available for the property node and its property terminals:
