The "index" property of cfg is populated in the msg_area object but not instance of MsgBase, by design.

It was intentional (there's no array being generated when a MsgBase object is created).

Yes, and you can use "code" as a index into msg_area.sub[] to get to the "cfg" of interest (that includes the "index" property).

I'll add a issue/request to gitlab for that enhancement.
