can you show me an example of how I can modify the properties

Question

I tried the following but it does not work:
func process(delta):
for child in $GridContainer.getchildren():
child.name.text = "New Text"

I get Error:
Invalid set index 'text' (on base: 'String') with value of type 'String'.

For future, you're probably best off keeping this kind of conversation in the original question, but at least you've referenced it here...

Your problem is that both name and text are individual properties of a button. To change the text, you just want this:

child.text = "New text"

I tried
child.set("customstyles/normal",Color.firebrick)
and
child["customstyles/normal"].bgcolor = Color("#bada55")
but they dont work not sure why?
