Currently only items in list view controls are supported for this property.

subitems

collection:string

For a list view control in Details mode, returns a collection of strings that lets you query or change the text of the item's sub-items. There will be one string in the collection for each column in the list, excluding the first column.

 

For example, assuming the list has three columns in total, the string for the first column would be set using the name property above. The strings for the second and third columns would be set with subitems(0) and subitems(1)
