Variables doesn't work in define manually dialog

[SPREEKDOS]

Hello, i am trying to use variables (global or local) inside "define manually" dialog or the index but it doesn't assign anything

last_element = {size=array} -1
dictionary1 = {lv=array[{v=last_element}]}
dictionary1 is still empty

I'm trying to use them to assign a variable (dictionary) to the last element (dictionary) of an array variable.

Is there any alternative way to get the last element of an array?

You can't do that yet unfortunately (dynamic dictionary/array copying), unless someone has a workaround.

Do any arithmetic on the required index *before* trying to use it eg the following will display the last element of the array:

Set Variable: n: (size=array_variable) - 1
Popup Message {lv=array_variable[{lv=n}]}

Is that what you mean?

The only way to do it is as @Andydroid showed (no calculation inside the indexes, only constants or variables)

Welcome
Sorry i think my post was confusing, i already tried that, what i meant in this post is that variables (global or local) doesn't work inside that dialog or the indexes [] ( i checked that that they are an integer), only constants works which are useless for getting the last element of an array.

Be careful with the syntax when using variables. It must be of one of these forms:
[[lv=local_var]][[v=global_var]]
or
[{lv=local_var}][{v=global_var}]

I can't beliave i forgot this workaround
it's pretty easy to do i could just copy the keys inside the array to a variables and then copy those to the dictionary.
