Hi Tomas and Christopher, Thanks for the explanations. I think userfunction may be my only option, so I'll start trying that out.

Every TS property that doesn't belong to some non-core extension is in the TSref. When you have a question like this, you can find the *definitive* answer by finding the relevant property in the TSref and checking the value in the property's "Data Type" column. In this case, the value shown under "Data Type" for "excludeUidList" is "list of int" [1]. It's muddied slightly by the fact that "current" works for this particular property, but it's unambiguously clear that nothing such as "insertData" will work: the value of the "Data Type" column would need to be (or include) "stdWrap". For more details consult the Datatype Reference in the TSref [2].
