Cypher: Setting multiple properties on a node

[Luanne Coutinho]

Hi,

I am trying to set multiple properties on a node by passing to the ExecutionEngine a Map<String, Object>.
The query is: start n=node:companies(id={id}) match (n)-[old?:parent_company]-(oldParent) set n={props} delete old

The error I get is:

`.' expected but `=' found

What am I missing?
I'm using 1.8

Thanks
Luanne

Forgot to add the stacktrace:

"start n=node:companies(id={id}) match (n)-[old?:parent_company]-(oldParent) set n={props} delete old"
