Is there a way to set the value for a treeitem after the tree item has been created?

 

The problem:

 

I am writing a X.409 based decoder (similar ASN.1).

 

I have a property stored as an integer to decode.

I come up with a tree like:

 

• Myproperty
  • X.409 Integer
    • Tag
    • Length
    • Value

 

 

The length of the value field is variable.

 

I have a protofield for all treeitems.

For my property I am currently using

pf_myproperty = ProtoField.uint8("myprop.myproperty ", "myproperty", base.HEX)

 

I create the myproperty treeitem first, then drill down and create the treeitems underneath it.

To prevent the protofield from decoding nonsense I am setting the value explicitly

  local myproperty_tree = tree:add(pf_myproperty, buffer(offset), 0)

 

After all the tree items are created I can set the length using myproperty_tree::set_len(len)

 

Is there a way I can set the value after creation?

 

I want to be able to filter on myproperty.

Something like myprop.myproperty==0xFF

 

I cannot find anything in
