[Developers] Reflection problem

[Chris Fitzpatrick]

Ok. I see now.  Changing the "name" to "/education/education/ 
institution" give me the value.

Like:

>    "id":       null,
>    "link": {
>      "master_property": {
>        "reverse_property": {
>          "id": "/people/person/employment_history"
>        }
>      }
>    },
>    "/education/education/institution" : null,:
>    "optional": true
>  }],
>  "id":   "/en/edward_feigenbaum",
>  "name": null
> }]



Hm. I was wanting to make it as generic as possible, but I guess I  
need to add some conditionals to catch the desired  CVTs.
Ok. Thanks!
best,chris.
