It probably shouldn’t have parsed `create field stack “Whatever”` ever. I’m not sure what you are intending myself.
Do you want a field named `stack “Whatever”` or do you want a field created on stack “Whatever”?

For the former then you probably want:
create field “stack” && quote & “Whatever” & quote

For the latter then you probably want:
set the defaultStack to “Whatever”
create field “MyField"

or

create field “MyField” in group “somegroup” of stack “Whatever"
