Not able to write a property in general properties aspect in an instance of my library.

Hello

I made a library which has one GRAPHIC DISPLAY PG2(GD PG2) and one GENERAL PROPERTIES(GP) aspect with one String property.In GD PG2 i have input field which writes the property in GP.I have made both the aspects as inherited in object type definition so future changes in those aspects should be replicated automatically at instance level.But by making their inheritence true , i am unable to write property of GP from GD PG2 at instance level. It seems GP is carying its value from library and sticking with it. Please provide a solution where i can keep both the aspects as inherited true at instance level ans still be able to write values from GD PG2 to GP property.

Any aspects - including your general properties aspect - that are inherited from their type cannot be changed.

Go to the Object Type Structure and set the General Properties aspect to be "copied" not "inherited".

I am not changing the aspect, i am tring to write a property of an aspect.
And if i keep the aspect as "copied" ,then how will future changes in library will replicate at instance level.

You cant write the values of a General Properties Aspect if it is inherited. It is considered a "change" - Yes I agree that appears to be wrong, but that's how it works.
