Can I tell if a part property has already been set?

If a part property has been manually set, it can't be set by FeatureScript. I'm wanting to write a general-use function that can be used by any property-setting feature which can tell whether it's worked or not, and provide a message with instructions on re-setting properties if not. Seems like getProperty can't be used in the main feature function. I tried using it in editing logic, but even if the main function sets the name, it still only returns the pre-feature name. Can this be done? It seems like it could be useful to lots of people writing features, not just me.
Here's what I've tried so far: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/87f7a0c59449e08d9aa23e09/w/0badf39844ddae5eda7380ea/e/6258d6bf25bd8fed2b987dcd

Unfortunately, we don't know at the time of regeneration if setProperty would have the desired effect. a. A later feature might override that property, b. Interactively assigned properties are always applied at the end of regeneration.
So it is really a question about the future.
