Arcade - add new values to Dictionary

girafee — Thu, 11 Aug 2022 13:50:52 GMT

Hi! I want to add new values to the dictionary and haven't found a method that can help me.

var first = Dictionary('field1', 1, 'field2', 2)

If I want to add new key/value in the Dictionary, what can I use?

By assigning a value to a key, Arcade will overwrite an existing value or create a new key if it doesn't already exist.

var f = Dictionary('field1', 1, 'field2', 2) // add new key/value pair f['field3'] = 'hey' // overwrite existing value f['field1'] = 'overwrite!' return f

PS - I'm assuming that's just a made-up sample, but don't use existing function names like first as variable names, it's just asking for trouble!
