java - My setText isn't updating my JTextField?

Question

So I'm missing something here, but I can't get my setAttributes method to update the agility text field like it's supposed to. The class that calls the method and the call works fine passing in the needed values as seen by the system.out.println(agility). However in just the line below I try to set the agilityAmount txtfield and it doesn't display. What am I doing wrong?
