"RepoInit operations are always additive, except for a few cases which allow removal of Users, Service Users, and Groups.

Explicit permissions are not needed to run the RepoInit scripts. They have implicit permissions to perform all actions defined per the scripts."

It works on append mode only, deletion is only for Users, Service Users, and Groups.

Why do you want to re-create a property with a different value? If that node belongs to your custom application, then change it there and not via repoinit. And you should not be required to change a property which is part of the product.
