This system does not appear to work for setting certain string fields of abilities, namely 'anam'

This bundle is marked as recommended. It works and satisfies the submission rules.
Easy Ability Fields allows you to use the Get and Set Ability Field natives without headaches. It uses artificial intelligence a simple algorithm to convert fourCC codes to the correct field types and calls the appropriate function to retrieve the value.
is equivalent to:
You can of course specify the level explicitly.
Features:
Installation:
Copy the ListOfFields and EasyAbilityFields scripts into your map, then copy the Easy Ability Field Dummy unit and set the DUMMY_UNIT constant to its fourCC code.
Lua:
GetUnitAbilityField(whichUnit, fourCC, "adur")
Lua:
BlzGetAbilityRealLevelField(BlzGetUnitAbility(whichUnit, FourCC(fourCC), ABILITY_RLF_DURATION_NORMAL, GetUnitAbilityLevel(whichUnit, FourCC(fourCC)) - 1)Features:
- Call function with unit and abilityId instead of ability instance.
- Interface that calls the appropriate native.
- Pass fourCC code of ability field instead of common.j constant.
- Convert level to 1-indexing.
- Retrieve generic ability field value with GetAbilityField, which gives the ability temporarily to a dummy.
- Omit level parameter to automatically use the unit's current level.
- Cache result for faster execution.
Installation:
Copy the ListOfFields and EasyAbilityFields scripts into your map, then copy the Easy Ability Field Dummy unit and set the DUMMY_UNIT constant to its fourCC code.

Keep in mind that a lot of these fields simply do not work to begin with.

I just noticed I had the argument order in the non-level setter function call swapped. I fixed that. Don't know if that's what you're refering to. Other than that, like Uncle said, a lot of these fields are read-only.

A resource that simplies modifying the ability fields of a unit in a breeze. Chuck Norris is here making our lives easier.
