Since version 5.0.30 theses function no longer return any values

%object%.Property8.Name
%object%.HeldByWho.Name
%object%.WornByWho.Name

I had to revert to theses functions instead.

%PropertyValue[%object%, Property8]%
%PropertyValue[%object%, HeldByWho]%
%PropertyValue[%object%, WornByWho]%

Is this still an issue? - it seems to be ok for me.

I've re-tested and it does seems ok as you say. Even tried it in a restriction text where I had the problem initially, all good. (maybe fixed in version 5.0.31?)

So in this light, you can close this item.

Could you send me a sample TAF that has the problem please?

I can't reproduce it, so let's close this issue.

One thing I notice however if you perform a check for : %object%.Property1 in a task description but the object used doesn't have property1 assigned, then you get a nasty error box (instead of returning NULL string). The functions following down the text do not resolve any more. I'll post a simple TAF in the forum so you can check it.

As discussed in the forum, version x.32.1 fixed the nasty popup error. However, the return value should be Null or 0 when querying a unassigned property value. Check the forum for the TAF example.
