The docs do not indicate this is a formatted property and the hint of the extension not understanding the "[" is your clue. If it were a formatted property and you did not define it, it would have been evaluated to an empty string (or null?).

Doesn't look like you can set at that at runtime unless you use a CA to manipulate the value in the table possible, but that is just a WAG.
