I reset the database again and am going through by using the scripts in the exercises again.
Exercise 8.1:
CREATE (:Movie {title: 'Forrest Gump'})
Then Exercise 8.2 does show the title in graph view:
MATCH (m:Movie) WHERE m.title='Forrest Gump' RETURN m
Ran Exercise 8.11:
MATCH (m:Movie)
WHERE m.title = 'Forrest Gump'
SET m:OlderMovie,
m.released = 1994,
m.tagline = "Life is like a box of chocolates...you never know what you're gonna get.",
m.lengthInMinutes = 142
Ran Exercise 8.12:
MATCH (m:OlderMovie)
WHERE m.title = 'Forrest Gump'
RETURN m
The attached image shows the exercise results and my results. Hope this helps clarify.
