    Hi Silje Dahl

    This is because 

    When the item is loaded, nodes will have all the properties
    When the item is locked, nodes will have only the properties which is having values
    When the item is unlocked, nodes will have only the properties which is having values (Locked By ID is empty in this case). So, this will be always (locked nodes count - 1)

    Thank You
