If keys are loaded/added manually, incrementing their values via: DictionaryName.Get("KeyName") + 1, that works. However, if keys are loaded via JSON or XML using AJAX? The same doesn't occur as the Get + 1 expression doesn't do anything and the keys will only change value via directly setting them to a value, such as 5 or 10. This is a fresh and barebones capx with no third party plugins. Even exported to nwjs, same thing still occurs (and using a text object to see if the key is changing)

Have you tried int(DictionaryName.Get("KeyName"))? Maybe it's causing a type mismatch.

Yeah okay, that worked, thanks. Something must of changed though in the past several versions (I was out of dev for +7 months) as this worked previously without the int so maybe they need to investigate it.

It's not a bug. In your JSON file the numbers are actually strings instead of numbers.
