I've been able to read/write to a field in a stack from an .irev document using livecode server. And while in the IDE on land, I've used UI elements in the stack for testing routines that aren't used 'in the wild'. lc server doesn't seem to choke on those UI elements, usually ignores. I think I've created and deleted cards too. And of course the custom properties are gold in the server environment for lookup and site (not user) settings Sometime whole library stacks created for the desktop can work verbatim in the server environment such as Mark Smith's (the late one) mp3 tag reading and writing library.
