Hi Sehnho Cha,

Could you do again following below from scratch:

1. in an existing Thing, create a new Service and author it like:


var params = {
name: name /* STRING */,
description: undefined /* STRING */,
thingTemplateName: TemplateName /* THINGTEMPLATENAME */,
tags: undefined /* TAGS */
};

// no return
Resources["EntityServices"].CreateThing(params);


Things[name].EnableThing();
Things[name].RestartThing();

name, TemplateName is input parameter

2.Go to the thing created by snippet, and add a new property manually, and then set a value for it and see if property is changed.

3. If property is still not changed, please check your new created thing's General Information, and see if the Active is checked.

Thanks,

Br,

Dear Seonho Cha,

By default after you programmically create a Thing, it's still inactive. You need Enable it with adding this code in your script:

Things[YOURTHINGNAME].EnableThing();

and try it again.
