Essentially I need t…

Actually, if you're going that way I kinda prefer @justin.brzozoski 's duck-typing approach: [image] Function to convert json string or python dict into ObjectWrapper Ignition Forcing each to the expected type while traversing makes a deep copy: def sanitize_tree(element)…

Where and how is the object defined ? What's its exact type ?

dict(self.view.params.PopupParams) might work; if it's not a deep dictionary. If you do need a deep copy, you could try the approaches mentioned here: [image] Copy dictionary and modify it without affecting the original Ignition As @bkarabinchak.psi pointed out even thou…

Thanks, I think creating my own recursive deep copy function is the way to go, better visibility to other developers in my team. Unfortunately, we're unable to use community extensions as a restriction by our clients.

I remember seeing that last week although I couldn't quite wrap my head around it then, @pascal.fragnoud 's explanation in the other thread helped to clear up the confusion. Thanks mate.
