it is not possible to set the value for a specific rep of a rep field in
FMP. what can be done is set the entire rep field. so if the rep field
contains {"W","O","O","F"} and you want to change the first rep to "M"
then you set the rep field to {"M","O","O","F"}. Clunky, but thats the
way to do it.
