Hi Marcel,

the problem raises only with more complex structrues. I have many places where I do the same thing with structures less complex and it work fine.

One of the problems reproducing is that the the string I like to ADD is part of an object. This object is a (grand) parent of the target object.

*target Object
.colApp.ITEM(toApp.gcGUIDAppGroup).goGroup.ITEM(toApp.gcGUIDGroup).goPath
*source object
.colApp.ITEM(toApp.gcGUIDAppGroup)

those are also back linked

.colApp.ITEM(toApp.gcGUIDAppGroup).goGroup.ITEM(toApp.gcGUIDGroup).goPath.goParent.goParent.goParent
*is the same object as
.colApp.ITEM(toApp.gcGUIDAppGroup)

It seems that the SETVAR method, wich is not the same as "=" mixed up something. I.O.W. my guess is that the object returend by SETVAR is not the same as returned by "=". There is a similarity to the FOR EACH problem, but is it not the same.
