I'm new to Innovator methods, and want to start simple. Can someone give me an example of a simple method to modify a property?
(Ideally a method that does something like change a boolean property value from 0 to 1.) I want to put it on a lifecycle.
Thanks in advance!

Refer to the Innovator Programmer's Guide for some examples of methods. You can download it from:
Here is some simple code to cover your exact example. This is a C# server method attached to the Life Cycle Map on a Pre-Transition event. It sets the value of a boolean property named "promoted_flag" to true (1):
this.setAction("edit");
this.setProperty("promoted_flag","1");
Item resultItem = this.apply();
return resultItem;
If for any reason the operation fails, the transition will be canceled and an error message will be returned to the user. The same code in VB looks like this:
Me.setAction("edit")
Me.setProperty("promoted_flag","1")
Dim resultItem As Item = Me.apply()
Return Me
