Property :: dirty - Is property handle dirty

The property returns, whether the selection or instance in a property handle has been changed. This happens in client/server mode, when the selection or instance in a property handle on the server side differs from the selection or instance on the client side.

Usually, the client automatically submits a refresh, when the instance is dirty after a client server action, e.g. after executing an action. The application can avoid refreshing the instance by resetting the dirty flag (isDirty(false)).

The property throws an exception, when the property handle is not valid.
Return value:  Dirty state ( bool  )

The option indicates, whether an object is to be set to dirty (true) or not (false).
