active files and dependencies in GECK: how to modify mod armor?

[Filmore]

If I want to modify an armor or other item in GECK that's part of a plugin or mod, how would I do that?

I wanted to have some different effects on the item, so I created a new object property, assigned it a name and the wanted effects etc, then when I switch to another point in the tree view at the left, then back to object effects it was gone.

It does work whrn I do it with fallout3.esm being the active file, but then I cannot assign the effect to the armor in the plugin.

Use FO3 edit, then change your plug-in to a Master file, then slect it in Geck
