Modify global field after creation

Hi All,

I've noticed that once a field has been created on the new m.global scope I can no longer add or modify its contents.

Example:
m.global.addFields({
    content: {}
})


I cannot then add to or modify m.global.content

I have tried the following ways to modify with no avail:
m.global.content.addReplace("test", "1")
m.global.content = {"test, "1"}
m.global.content.test = "1"


Is this expected? Or am I doing something wrong?

    Modifying the value doesn't work for me, but resetting it to a new AA does. Your code for that is wrong...
    m.global.content = {"test, "1"}

    should be...
    m.global.content = {"test": "1"}

    The latter works for me.

    FACE PALM FOR ME.

    Ok, so now that a full reset of the field is working is it possible to edit a specific value instead of the whole field?

    I guess something like this would work

    print m.global.content
    newcontent = m.global.content
    newcontent.test = "1"
    m.global.content = newcontent
    print m.global.content

    newcontent = m.global.content
    newcontent.test2 = "2"
    m.global.content = newcontent
    print m.global.content
