Summary0004109: foamDictionary is currently not compatible with the topoSetDict format
DescriptionWhen using the foamDictionary on a topoSetDict, it is possible to modify the actions within the dictionary. However, since a single action is an unnamed sub-dictionary, it is currently not possible to access the individual entries.

It would be a valuable feature to have the ability to access and manipulate these individual entries. This enhancement would make the already powerful foamDictionary tool even more comprehensive.
Steps To ReproduceWhen using the command foamDictionary -entry actions on a topoSetDict, it outputs all the actions as a long, continuous string of words. This behavior suggests that the sub-dictionaries are not being recognized.
TagsNo tags attached.

I think topoSet needs a complete rewrite, it has an unnecessarily complex input, is difficult to extend, is badly written and could be done so much better. The input I would imagine for the rewrite would have a standard dictionary form which could be manipulated by foamDictionary. Currently we do not have any funding for this rewrite, if you can provide funding please contact us directly to discuss.
