So in Java this works just fine in a vacuum, but when i try this in my main framework, using grails 2.2.2 this doesnt seem to work which i cannot figure out why. here is the log when i try to do this.
The command is this…
IOSElement el = ((IOSElement)element)
el.setValue(value)
or
((IOSElement)element).setValue(value)
