Field required
value
The field to be set, this could include the index in case the field is an array (e.g. contacts.0.name). Be cautious, updating existing fields into new types could cause search-index issues and make data visually disappear.

Out pins 1

mutations
mutations

Emits one set.field mutation overwriting the dot-path field named by the field pin with the value from the typed pins (when several are wired, the later one wins: value, number, array, object, condition, date, file). Values coerce by type: numbers and dates parsed numerically, condition pins strict boolean, value pins stringified, files reduced to path lists. An empty field name yields an empty mutations list.

A typical wiring for set custom field: value feeds the field pin; number feeds the number pin; object from mutations feeds the object pin; the mutations out pin feeds multiple.

Commonly used with

In production blueprints, this block is most often wired together with:

value: feeds into this block. Simply returns the provided value.
multiple: this block feeds into it. combine multiple mutations into one.
object from mutations: wired in both directions with this block. Builds a new object filled with the given mutations.
number: feeds into this block. Generates a valid number from the filled custom value in the blueprint.
array with values: feeds into this block. Creates a new array of given values.
get base64: feeds into this block. Returns the base64 of the given file.
