Follow-up Comment #2, bug #68108 (group octave):

i,

This patch adds support for comma-separated list assignment to properties of
classdef object arrays.

Previously, something like:

m(1,3) = mre ();
c = num2cell (1:3);
[m.A] = c{:};

would fail with
can't perform indexing operation on array of ... objects.

The issue was that cdef_object_array::subsasgn only handled case '.' when
numel () == 1, and otherwise fell through to the default error. The patch
extends this branch to accept a cs-list RHS and distributes the values across
the array elements by delegating to scalar subsasgn.

I’ve added a small regression test under
test/classdef/bug-objarray-cslist.tst
with a minimal helper class.

make check passes locally (FAIL 0).

Let me know if you'd prefer a different approach or if anything should be
adjusted.

Thanks!
