if I want to use a variable instead of a literal for "object_label" in the following:

put parameter_value into myArray[1]["object_label"] // store the new value

what is the correct syntax? I've tried:

put quote & parameter_name & quote into tString
put parameter_value into myArray[1][tString] // store the new value

but that didn't work.

The syntax is correct, but don't put quotes around the parameter_name unless you really want quotes around it.

Thanks Mark, removing the quotes fixed the problem.
