CompItem.displayStartFrame undefined

Does anyone know when `CompItem.displayStartFrame` might be undefined for a composition?

On one AE script using it is returning `undefined` for comp that other AEs are returning proper value.

Tried to change ```Project Settings >> Time Display Style``` from Frames to Timecode (and back), if that would have any influence, it haven't.

Any pointers welcomed.

I will probably answer myself. it seems that 'displayStartFrame' was added only in later version of 2020 (17.1), that offending AE might be some ancient relic, probably. pwned

And its happening on single instance of AE 2020, but I tested it successfully on both 2020 and 2021.
