In accordance with https://userbase.kde.org/KDE_System_Administration/PlasmaDesktopScripting#Activities_and_Panels The "screen" property of a panel should be read/writable, however changing it has no effect. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have a dual monitor configuration with at least one panel. 2. Launch runner via "Alt F2", type "scripting console" and select "Desktop shell scripting console" 3. Paste the following code: r = panels() print("===> Current:") print(r[0].screen) print(r[0].location) print("===> Setting new value (make them different to current):") r[0].screen = 1; r[0].location = 'top'; r[1].reloadConfig() Actual Results: Changing location attribute changes position of panel, (top vs bottom) however changing screen umber has no effect, (moving the panel manually and re-running the script does update the value, so it appears that the value is read-only. Expected Results: Panel should have moved from one screen to the other. On a side note, the "version" in https://userbase.kde.org/KDE_System_Administration/PlasmaDesktopScripting#Activities_and_Panels is listed under the list headed by the sentence, "as well as the following read/write properties:" however clearly the version should be read-only!
