That's currently the problem with your help patch. The behavior of the object is clear from the usage description, but then you decide to put "per abstraction" in all caps, which made me wonder whether you mean "per abstraction instance"-- the desired behavior-- or "per abstraction class"-- in which case I would take it to mean right-clicking one instance sends a bang to _all_ instances. Then you said at the bottom that "you

cannot have [propertybang]s per subpatch," which confirms the latter (see "2.7. subpatches"),
"subpatch" in the help patch means what is commonly called "subpatch" (aka [pd]) which is a "one-off subpatch" in the docs.
which would render the object useless and make me think it's just not finished yet. So I have to build my own abstraction and test the object to see whether the it does something useful, which defeats the whole purpose of having the help patch in the first place.
i cannot follow. i don't like help-patches that are not self-contained (at least for what they are trying to document); in older versions [propertybang] obviously did not work for "one-off subpatches" (hence the documentation about this), which made it a bit hard to show without abstractions. otoh, creating an abstraction yourself and test whether the object indeed does what _you_ want it do, is not so complicated.
anyhow, thanks for the feedback.
