Support for editing the properties of P_BOUNDEDVALUE, P_LISTVALUE, and other types

[ZiruiHong]

Issue Description

Current ifcopenshell.api.pset.edit_pset doesn't support 1) updating IfcPropertyListValue properties, and 2) adding new properties for IfcPropertyBoundedValue type.

I'm wondering if the support for these are under development or to be developed in the near future. Thanks.

I'm wondering if the support for these are under development or to be developed in the near future. Thanks.

I'm not aware of any efforts towards this in the community. Are you interested in helping out :) ?

Interoperability of these kind of more advanced property types is not always great amongst tools, hence so far the demand for these has not been great.

@aothms there are some people who want to use this...
