I want to create a variable called tTargetField so I use put "Hello" into tTargetField
Now I want to put something into a field so I create a variable called tTargetField2 and put the long id of field "foo" into tTargetfield2 Then to put something into the field I put "Hello" into tTargetField2 Now do you see? All I am doing here is replacing the value of tTargetField2 that used to contain the long id of field "foo" with the word "Hello". How does the engine know what you mean? It's Ambiguous.

What is not working?
