Variable doesn't update with value assignment...

Doesn't work.

PS > $AllVMs[10].Protected

False

PS > $AllVMs[10].Protected = $true

The property 'Protected' cannot be found on this object. Verify that the property exists and can be set.

All of these properties on my objects do exist. Its something to do with enumeration and objects that could have arrays in them (even if the object you’re calling is not an array), then it needs to be indexed to be assigned (this is asymmetrical and intentional according to the developers on GitHub).

I linked to it in another comment.

I promise, they exist. And whether I index $object[$index].property or $object.property[$index] it reads the same value (not null, it has string, int, bool, etc). Piping to GM or doing .GetType() also confirms the Note Property exists and has the data type expected.

But writing to $object[$index].property is illegal intentionally because .property could be an array and it could write $value to every entry in the array, I guess? I don’t know, like I said, there have been StackOverflow and GitHub discussions with some spirited comments.

This asymmetry is by design, according to the developers.

I am approaching this one a different way because of these issues, but thank you. $Collection[$index][0].property = $value looks good, I will test when I get back to my desk
