Yes, we noticed the same potential source of confusion. After giving it one
minute thought I decided that at least I was willing to live with it.
However, more that one minute of thought might be worth it to come up with a
better syntax.
How about the following. It seems that the problem only comes up when we have
values that are collections. We could use [] to refer to elements of
collections, so that your example would look like this:
Generate_Report.subtask_connection.subtasks[Specify_account].xxx = value;
