freemarker.template.SimpleHash error - cm:title

[rfischer]

I am having an issue with accessing the title field in my ftl.  I use a webscript to find a node and the following line in the ftl  throws a freemarker issue.  The code had worked in previous versions.

<title>${content.properties["cm:title"]}</title>

Are you sure the property is set? Try

<title>${content.properties["cm:title"]!"No title"}</title>

It is not null and I am able to access it in the webscript.  I then can set it to a variable to use it in the ftl.  This approach is less than ideal because it will force changes in other webscripts too.

 model.nodeTitle = model.content.properties["cm:title"];
