Read only expression on left side of assignment

[art3mis]

Can any VEX experts help with the following. Getting a

"Read only expression on left side of assignment' error for the last line in the following VEX snippet

 

vector axis = vector(rand(@ptnum));
float angle = radians(ch('amount'));
matrix3 m = ident();
 
rotate(m, angle, axis);
@orient = quaternion(m);

Works fine here, sounds like a stuck wrangle, happens sometimes.

Try copying to a fresh wrangle.

Was having the same problem and stumbled upon this topic. In my case I noticed I had temporarily pasted a relative reference in the "Attributes  to create" field and after I was done with it , forgotten to type the asterisk back in!

That's easier said than done, I just ran into this issue on a wrangle with an heavily modified interface that's referenced in multiple places, to redo it all would take days of grueling work. 

Is there any other way to clear a stuck wrangle?

I guess I'll just revert to an earlier build. I'm very glad I always create new versioned saves.
