asked on Powershell Custom Object Properties Basics Question
I often come across a situation where I need an extra property in the object, and I understand one of the ways to create a note property is to use select-object, rather than add-member, or pscustomobject. My problem is I keep getting an error when I try to set that property, that the property doesn't exist or cannot be set, so clearly I am getting something basic wrong.
For example, I would like to include the path to an acl object access export, but keep getting an error:
I can use custom object to achieve that, but I was hoping to save myself some time writing out hash tables by instead using select-object to define the custom property .
Do I need to use new-object?

$paths = "\\server\share\folder1","\\server\share\folder2","\\server\share\folder3"
$report = @()
$paths |
foreach-object {
$access = (get-acl $_).access |select-object *,path
$access.path = $_
$report+=$access
}
$report | export-csv -path report.csv -NoTypeInformation

You would do it something like the following.
By adding a member to the array it will allow you to include that data in the export.

$paths = "\\server\share\folder1","\\server\share\folder2","\\server\share\folder3"
$report = @()

$access = (get-acl $_).access
$access | Add-Member -NotePropertyName "Path" -NotePropertyValue $_
