Hi,
That’s not a bug. That’s normal.
$oChildObject:=New object create a reference to a object store in $oChildObject
OB SET($oParentObject;"ChildInformation";New object) push another reference
into the $oParentObject but the old reference still exist because $oChildObject
isn’t cleared.
you try : $oParentObject.ChildInformation:=Null
try this $oChildObject:=null
and read $oParentObject
Regards,
Olivier
