Stylistic set confusion

Glyphs
1

Working on a font where I have more than one version of a few glyphs so I’m adding a stylistic set.

I’ve named the glyphs a.ss01 etc (following the post on stylistic sets).
I let glyphs build the feature code for me by cmd I / featrures / update.

It works perfectly for the first glyph, but when it comes to the second (or more) I get confused. It seems to only want to do it for one glyph. When I update nothing changes and the stylistic set seem to only contain one glyph.

I tried a noob version of just writing the same code myself by switching letters (sub b by b.ss01) but it just switched from the first to the second glyph, not adding it.
And when I try to add so I have both (1. sub a by a.ss01 2. sub b by b.ss01) It tells me I’m doing it wrong.

I’m new to stylistic sets in Glyphs and I’m sure I’m doing something silly, the only problem is I don’t know what that silly is.

Here is a demo file of how stylistic set should work:
Demo.glyphs (6.5 KB)

All glyphs with the suffix .ssXX are part of the set XX (e.g. 01, 02, …).

Thanks!

Strangely that’s how I’ve done it.
Or at least it’s what I tried to achieve. I’ll try it again.

Yup, I was silly. Saw the warnings (lil red stop sign) and never clicked update.
Got it right now. Appreciate your help!
