This PR adds support for assigning values to specific fields in structured dtypes in Dask arrays (e.g., arr['f'] = 1.5), similar to NumPy behavior. Previously, this would silently fail or be unsupported.
Changes Made:
While running pre-commit, I encountered these mypy errors:
1. int is not iterable – dask/bag/core.py
2. .append() used on a NumPy array – dask/array/_array_expr/_shuffle.py
3. Encountered a deprecation warning from mypy: numpy.typing.mypy_plugin is deprecated.
4. Unused "type: ignore" – in dask/dataframe/tests/test_dataframe.py
Even though these are unrelated to my PR or changes, I've tried to fix them.
Fixes Applied:
Closes: [#12016]
