Function to set component property

Ignition

Why wouldn’t one just use python’s setattr() function? Like so:

def setPropertyValue(comp, prop, val):
    setattr(comp, prop, val)

Consider catching AttributeError, though, to fall back on the setPropertyValue() method applicable to custom properties (not always supported by setattr). Like so:

def setPropertyValue(comp, prop, val):
    try:
        setattr(comp, prop, val)
    except AttributeError:
        return comp.setPropertyValue(prop, val)
