Set value

See also: Populate element data

The value of the linked element is set to the specified Value (in the example below the number 5). However, this value can also be created using calculation expressions Calculation expression.

With the Nothing button, the keyword '$null' is set as the value, which represents no value.

►NOTE◄ An empty text is not equivalent to 'Nothing' and should only be used in the context of input fields in order to empty them.

The Input button is used to accept the keyword '$input' as the value. This serves as a placeholder for the input data of the action (i.e. the data that is passed on by the behaviour).

Example for $input:

A text field 1 triggers a 'Statically true' behaviour for 'Changed', for which a 'Set value' action is configured on another text field 2. If '$input' is now set as the value of the action, any input from field 1 is copied directly into field 2.

By pressing the button Default value the keyword '$init' is set as value, which is representative for the default value of the target element. Elements can thus be re-initialized.

►NOTE◄ This function is only available in version 4.1.0 and higher!
