Evaluator Clause: ArrayPush does not accept unnamed map

PassThePeas · August 31, 2026, 11:31pm

The following code (in an evaluator group clause) works:

groups = ArrayCreate();
x = [ name = "1 - System"; letters = "C"; ];
ArrayPush(groups, x);

Where the following code silently fails:

groups = ArrayCreate();
ArrayPush(groups, [ name = "1 - System"; letters = "C"; ]);

Is there a specific reason or misuse? Or is this a bug?

Well,
How would this happen then ?
Within Evaluator, how could an implicitly defined array be added as an element of another explicitly defined array ?

So I tried to do that and this is the result of my attempt.

Edit:

And my second attempt was this:

Looks like a bug. Fixed in the next update. Thanks!

Thanks David for looking into this.
First, note that my question was related to maps, not arrays (in my example, when you define x = [ name = "1 - System"; letters = "C"; ];, then you can use x.name and x.letters to access then content of the map).

With regard to your tests, this seems like expected results.

Your first test defines 2 arrays of strings, arr1 & arr2.
Then:

When adding (ArrayPush) a new string at the end of each of these, you get arrays of string with the newly added string at the end.
When creating the 2D array (ArrayCreate(arr1, arr2)), you actually get a 2D array, 1st item is arr1, and second is arr2. Then you add a third item (arr2 again) and the output just shows that.

And your second test edit fails because the syntax { "string", "string" } is not the syntax of an array (even though that's how it's displayed with an Output command).
I think that if you'd want to add an unnamed array in another one, you could use ArrayPush(arr1, ArrayCreate( "This", "is", "an", "unnamed", "array"));
