How do I define story objects more gooder?

Gorlath

So I just started with twine, and I went ahead and installed (I think the latest) v2.
Deciding "Okay, let's keep this simple", I tested a few variables to get the hang of it. Stuff like

<<set $timeOfDay to 1>>

They worked and it seemed easy enough.
Which brings me to my current issue: Try as I might, I simply can't get sugarcube to define a twine story object.
Every piece of information I've seen suggests that I simply type

<<set $person to {
name:"John Smith",
age:27,
gender:"Male"
}>>

and then after that I can modify it by writing stuff like

<<set $person.name to "Joe Smith">>

but any time I attempt to do that, even immediately below the original definition, results in a bad expression: Cannot read property name of undefined.
I feel like I've tried everything at this point, but obviously I haven't because even after an hour of searching here and on google and replicating the exact syntax of other people's solutions, there's still something stupid I'm doing.

Edit: Forgot to mention I'm using Sugarcube 1.0.34.

Well, after much messing around I fixed it. Apparently, the error wasn't to do with my object at all, but instead to do with the <<silently>> tag. I have since switched to <<nobr>> and the bug seems to be fixed.

Sorry, it didn't give me the option to mark my own reply as an answer.
