How to set properties on created entities?

[TheEnjinia]

Maybe this is obvious, but I am not seeing a way in the documentation and in the examples to set the properties of an entity. For example setting the value for the Person entity, the "Value" property can be manipulated, which is apparently the "Full Name" property, but to me there is no apparent way to manipulate "Surname" and "First Names"

How can this be achieved?

You can do it as follows:

    person_entity = MaltegoEntity(type="maltego.Person", value="John Doe")`
    person_entity.addProperty(fieldName="other_name", displayName="Other Name", matchingRule="loose", value="XYZ Name")
     person_entity.addProperty(fieldName="first_names", displayName="First Names", matchingRule="loose", value="John GI")
     person_entity.addProperty(fieldName="surname", displayName="Surname", matchingRule="loose", value="Joe")

Hey @TheEnjinia. Does this work for you? Closing the Issue for now but happy to reopen if things are still unclear.
