If I do this, the next time I run the program I get the following

The position Prop feedback gain for velocity resolved
control.
100
100
100
100
100
100
100

So then the array is expanded with one element (a simple) which does get a

Okay I was unclear here, I meant that there are no assignments happening, the
values and dimensions of the properties are not changed in my code.
But there is a writeProperties call when the component is shut down.
