I haven't been following this thread, so I don't actually know what
you're trying to do, but this part of your question was answered by
Tomas already. Every TS property that doesn't belong to some non-core
extension is in the TSref. When you have a question like this, you can
find the *definitive* answer by finding the relevant property in the
TSref and checking the value in the property's "Data Type" column.

In this case, the value shown under "Data Type" for "excludeUidList"
is "list of int" [1]. It's muddied slightly by the fact that "current"
works for this particular property, but it's unambiguously clear that
nothing such as "insertData" will work: the value of the "Data Type"
column would need to be (or include) "stdWrap". For more details
consult the Datatype Reference in the TSref [2].
