Overridden built-in setter functions are not called when setting a value, even when using the self keyword.
(Maybe this is expected, but it doesn't seem right. You have to always remember to call the setter.)

Steps to reproduce:

I think this is done by design. You can define a _set() function to create magic setters/getters, but keep in mind this has a performance cost.

I tried to do that, but this gives me a stack overflow.

func _set(property: String, value) -> bool:
	if get(property) != null:
		match property:
			"bbcode_text":
				"< code here >"
			_:
				pass
		set(property, value)
		return true
	else:
		return false

However, looks like this is already fixed by #47672.
Also, according to #844, setters will get called by default in 4.0, so this will no longer be an issue.

I think this is done by design.

In that case, I'll close this, since 4.0 is almost here and I don't think a change like this will be made for 3.x
