Yes, you can set the value using myproperty_tree:set_text(somestring)
 
For example: myproperty_tree:set_text(string.format(“myproperty: 0x%02X”,
someval))
 
 
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:
 
n 
Myproperty 
o  
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
