If I have a property that I'm trying to add a modifier to it works fine, as long as there is no annotation on that property. Why is that? otherwise I get an exception

try #kontributors

why there? is this channel abandoned?

this channel has nothing to do with working with the Kotlin project source code, which is what you seem to be doing #kontributors is for people working with the Kotlin project and/or willing to contribute #reflect is about the kotlin-reflect library mostly, and reflection and introspection on JVM in general
