Hi
When using GOP abstractions with 'Hide object name and arguments' checked, I seem to not be able to change the arguments after creation. When rewriting the whole argument list in a new object is too tedious, I sometimes revert to editing the patch file with a text editor.
Is there a way to edit arguments after creation? If not, shouldn't there be a way to support that?

basically you want to rewrite an object - doesn't matter if it's gop, subpatch, or something else - without editing it yourself. it's a nice idea, maybe possible for now with some ugly message hackery, probably involving mouse simulation?
instead of thinking it from the receiver end (editing specific for subpatches), it might be more interesting to think of it from the sender end - a message that rewrites any object it's attached to.

No, I simply want to edit it manually in the patch editor, but cannot because the arguments are not visible. Also, I cannot uncheck 'Hide object name and arguments' because when I start editing the objects arguments, Pd asks 'Discard changes to mygopsabs.pd?'. Ok, I could save with GOP disabled, edit it, enable GOP again. But that is still not a very good use experience.

It's even worse: When saving it, all (other) instances are reloaded and therefore loose their state. This is definitely not a feasible way.

OK, got it. No need to save. It's still tedious, but better than writing the full argument list from scratch again.
- right click the abs -> Properties
- disable GOP and 'hide object name ..'
- Klick 'OK'
- Edit arguments
- Click 'yes' to 'Discard changes to abs?' pop-up dialog
