I have a map[locations=list[];name="Name"], how would I append a new location to that list inside the map?

#

that's a weird format for pseudocode. You are talking about a denizen map, right?

#

Yes, a Denizen map.

#

- define node[locations]:->new_loc doesnt seem to do the trick.

map[locations=list[];name="Name"] <-- not valid syntax at all

#

can you paste your actual map object please

#

- define node <map[locations=list[];name=CoolSpot]>
- debug log <[node]>
- define node[locations]:->"Test"
- debug log <[node]>

#

output:

+> [DebugCommand] map@[locations=list[];name=CoolSpot]
[19:36:12 INFO]: +> [DebugCommand] map@[locations=list[];name=CoolSpot]

#

list[] will produce plaintext, not a list object

#

your data action is malformed, your quotes are in the wrong place, the map syntax is broken

#

this to say that maybe you should take a step back?

#

you seem to be making a lot of blind guesses with the syntax

Sorry, I wrote this snippet with haste...the actual script is more complex.

#

Overall, how do I append to a list inside a map?

#

        - define node <map[locations=<list[]>;name=CoolSpot]>
        - debug log <[node]>
        - define node[locations]:->Test
        - debug log <[node]>

I think this cleans up the extra quotes and wrong list object creation in the snippet.

#

Output:

19:38:17 INFO]: +> [DebugCommand] map@[locations=li@;name=CoolSpot]
[19:38:17 INFO]: +> [DebugCommand] map@[locations=li@;name=CoolSpot]

#

Ahhh, I think I got it:

        - define node <map[locations=<list[]>;name=CoolSpot]>
        - debug log <[node]>
        - define node.locations:->:Test

Dot notation appears to work for the left side of a define.
