Kotlin – Setter for Properties Initialized in Constructor?

hope I worded this right. Trying to be able to do a setter function for a variable that is initialized in a constructor ala:

package com.example.propory

class Property(val name: String, propValue: String) {

    var previousPropertyValue: List<String> = listOf("testing")

    var propValue: String = ""
        set(value){
            previousPropertyValue += this.propValue
            field = value
        }
}

I can access "name" just fine outside of this when I create a instance of it ala:

// trunicated
 val currentProperty = Properties.find { prop -> property.name == prop.name}

however if I try to access "propValue":

currentProperty.propValue = property.propValue

I don’t get any value :(.

So wondering what I did wrong and how to fix it. Thank you all for the help! 🙂

>Solution :

You’re leaving the propValue parameter that is passed into the constructor completely unused, and initializing your property with an empty String. Initialize it with the parameter that was passed into the constructor:

var propValue: String = propValue
    set(value){
        previousPropertyValue += this.propValue
        field = value
    }
