Subject: Re: Add value inside 'Nested Mappings String'

Perhaps you're not considering that "children" returns an Array!
The Hash inside it is the 0 indexed element of this Array.

a = {"System"=>
 {"H&S"=>
   {"name"=>"Health & Safety",
    "components"=>["FlashWheel"],
    "children"=>
     [{"name"=>"Training and Culture",
       "type"=>"Programme",
       "subtype"=>"None",
       "components"=>"None"}]}}}

a["System"]["H&S"]["children"][0]["name"]="Objective"

now 'a' returns

{"System"=>{"H&S"=>{"name"=>"Health & Safety",
"components"=>["FlashWheel"], "children"=>[{"name"=>"Objective",
"components"=>"None", "subtype"=>"None", "type"=>"Programme"}]}}}
