Studio 6.x - setting field width

[Scotte Meredith]

$cinst refers to the particular instance of the object as it exists while running. So having to use $cinst.r_test… is certainly unusual. Perhaps see if $cinst is at that point referring to some other instance. Maybe try something like 
  Calculate #S1 as $cinst().$name

As for $clib.$reports.r_test, that would refer to the object as it exists on disk and would be used to permanently change the item as it exists in the library, not the current instance of the report that exists in memory temporarily.
