In versions 1.3.b48 and 1.3.b49, if you use getPropertyNames(), you will get back not only the properties of the current token, but properties that no longer exist for that property set.

For example, in one campaign I had a separate property to handle vulnerability and resistance to certain damage types. I removed those properties and used a property string instead - however, when I used getPropertyNames(), those deleted properties show up again.



Will assign the following to PropList (the following is an excerpt; it seems to get every property that ever existed in that set):

"Weapon2Damage, DefaultStats, ResistFire, Thievery, VulnCold, Wisdom,
ResistPsychic, LastCustomAttack, VulnPoison, IntBonus, Dexterity, GenSaveMod, MiscDamBonus, TempHP, MiscACBonus, VulnRadiant, VulnForce, Endurance, VulnNecrotic, Implement2Crit, Power20, ActionPoints, Religion, Implement2DamBonus..."

The only properties that still exist in that token's property type setting are: LastCustomAttack, Power20, and ActionPoints. Some of those, like Implement2Crit, were deleted from the property set back in...jeez, somewhere around version 1.3.b38.

getAllPropertyNames() does not display this behavior.

The reason that this happens is because deleting a property from the campaigns does not delete it from the tokens. Infact there is really no way to delete a property from a token.
If you want only the properties that are defined in the campaign then use getAllTokenProperties() with the type of the token. I know its a pain, but until there is a way to delete token properties getPropertyNames() is going to return them no matter what you do in the campaign properties :\. Campaign properties just determines what the user can edit with the token edit dialog (as well as what is displayed on mouse over etc). It in no way limits what properties can be set on the token (and I think many people are already taking advantage of this).

Edit: So this isn't a bug in getPropertyNames(), not even sure it if is a bug anywhere...

It depends on how you define a bug, I suppose. It's behavior is nonintuitive, at the very least.

I made a note in the Documentation Wiki about the persistence of properties vis a vis getPropertyNames().

While I agree that it isn't a bug there probably should be a way to purge properties from a token in the Edit Token dialog. A button for Clear All that clears the visible and (perhaps optionally) removes any properties that aren't in the current Campaign settings.

Yes, but you'd have to be careful as loading and using the token in a campaign that doesn't have the right properties shouldn't cause permanent data loss. I agree it'd be nice, though.
