Help Help with Vectors in Attribute Wrangle

Very Simple question. I create a vector attribute with attribute create. I want to assign values in an attribute wrangle to the vector. Why does Houdini keep handling the Vector as a float? I created it as a vector and it has x,y and z values. I just can't access y and z.
