Issue with the print macro, setter links and strings
I am using SugarCube 2.7.2 on Twine 2.0.11
The passage in question contains the following for loop:
Straightforward, and works fine in other passages. This for loop then contains the following print macro:
This appears to function just fine. But if I swap the second set macro from a number to a string, it no longer works:
"Error: <<print>>: bad evaluation: Unexpected identifier" is the error message in question.
$Item[$i].Property was set to 1 prior to this passage.
Setting the second setter link to "$Active.Property to "string"" did not solve the problem.
What am I missing?

Use alternate quotes:
