propertyLabel is the label for the property.

The following example is a reference to the UnitPrice property of a record. A record is an AppleScript value that consists of a collection of properties. For more information about records, see Values and Constants. The label of the property is UnitPrice and the container is the record.

NOTES

Property labels are listed in object class definitions in application dictionaries. Because a property's label is unique among the properties of an object, the label is all you need to distinguish a property from all the other properties of the object. Unlike other reference forms, there is no need to specify the class of the object.
