You can do it as a whole, but

- you need a different name for your custom property and your array like
in

  "set the customproperties[storedUMap] of card x  to uMap" and
 "put the customproperties[storedUMap] of  card x into uMap",

- and you should avoid to write "uMap[x,y]", but only "uMap" for your
array to be stored, as [x,y] - in this context - would refer to the last
item that was put into the array and not to the whole array.
