I remember reading that some time ago, but I can't find it in the docs for
2.5.  A couple quick tests suggest it's not true now.

1: create new mainStack
2: create new button
3: edit its script:
     on mouseUp
       set the width of the templateField to 400
       set the backgroundColor of the templateField to "green"
       create field
     end mouseUp
4: check the properties in the message box

But the properties appear to get reset by either dragging the field tool
from the tools palette or selecting "Field" from the "New Control" item of
the "Object" menu.

When the IDE learns to speak, its first word might be "Gotcha!"
