Not able to open property inspector

Whenever I am trying edit a plot in Figure window through property inspector, the property inspector window does not open and has the following error in command window:

Unable to use a value of type string as an index.

Error in internal.matlab.datatoolsservices.WidgetRegistry/registerWidgets (line 406)

Hey!

I'm not able to reproduce this problem. Can you please try this commands one by one and note the results.

>> w = internal.matlab.datatoolsservices.WidgetRegistry.getInstance();
>> w.registerWidgets('internal.matlab.legacyvariableeditor.peer.PeerTableViewModel','', 'variableeditor/views/TableArrayView','','');

and after this please try this one

>> val = w.createWidgetStruct('variableeditor/views/TableArrayView','','','')

Next, try this:

c = containers.Map;
c("internal.matlab.legacyvariableeditor.peer.PeerTableViewModel///") = val

And send us the output. I'm guessing some of these commands will fail.

Thanks,

Shubh

Do you happen to be using MacOS Catalina?

We are unable to reproduce your problem and I believe it might be installation issue so please reinstall MATLAB.
