I have a variable define as follows:

Set(
 gblAppData,
 {
 Id: 1,
 AppId: 1,
 Version: "1.0.0.0",
 TestingMode: true,
 IsAdmin: false,
 IsOwner: false,
 IsAdminOwner: false,
 User: User(),
 LatestVersion: "0.1.0.0,
 ForceUpgrade: false
 }
);

I would like to update a property in this variable but all the functions take collections or tables. Is there any way to directly update a property in this variable?

Thank you.

Hi,
Try patching the variable, inside the Set() function, since the patch return the results

Set(gblAppData, Patch(gblAppData,{IsOwner:true}))

Tried that. I get the following errors:

Set( gblAppData, Patch( gblAppData, { IsAdmin: true } ) )

The "Name isn't valid" error is for gblAppData in the Patch() call. It has no issues with gblAppData in the Set() call.

Any other ideas?

Ok, strange. I closed the Canvas Studio and reloaded the app. The errors went away.

So strange.
