Having trouble with syntax for settings a panel value

[VirtualVirgin]

I have a 2D array initialized in a panel's value like this:

	// initialize pitch set arrays
	local chordPadsPSArrays = [];
	chordPadsPSArrays.reserve(rows);	
	for (i = 0; i < rows; i++)
	{			
		chordPadsPSArrays[i] = [];
		chordPadsPSArrays[i].reserve(columns);			
		for (j = 0; j < columns; j++)
		{
			chordPadsPSArrays[i][j] = [];
		}			
	}
	panel.setValue
	({
		"pitchSetArrays" : chordPadsPSArrays
	});

Later I am trying to write to the value with

panel.setValue({"pitchSetArrays"[0][0] : [this.data.keyNumber]});

But I am getting

 Found '[' when expecting ':'

So I am not sure how to write this to save to the index of the 2D array that I need.

In your code, the key is written as "pitchSetArrays"[0][0], which is trying to index the string "pitchSetArrays".

I think you need to do something like :

pitchSetArrays[0][0] = this.data.keyNumber;
panel.setValue({ "pitchSetArrays": pitchSetArrays });

@VirtualVirgin

chordPadsPSArrays[i][j] = [];

This is a 3d array since your store an array into an already 2D array

So I tried a few methods like this but couldn't get it to work.

Confusingly, I found the method to set the value at the specified array index by using the .getValue() method as so:

panel.getValue().pitchSetArrays[0][0] = [this.data.keyNumber];

Sure, at that point the 2D array becomes a 3D array. I'm jest referring to it that way as the address is 2D (rows, columns in this example).
