The Set Value feature is used to assign values to fields by
selecting the field in the pipeline page.
About this task
The behavior of the set values feature is as follows:
- For String type fields,
-
- Accepts any non null value such as alphabets, numbers and symbols.
- Sets the field with an empty (blank) value if you open the Set Value
screen and do not specify any value.
- For PickList
- PickList is a drop-down list where you can choose one of the values from a
predefined list. Based on the operation selected, you can either provide custom values or select a
value from the predefined list.

Procedure
-
Create a flow service. For example, AddingIntegers. A flow service step is
created initially without any data.
- Select the AddInts operation in the flow service step.
- Click the View/Edit Pipeline icon on the flow service step.
The Pipeline page appears. Two service input fields
num1 and num2 are listed in the Service
Input column.
- Click any of the fields, for example, num1.
The
Set Value dialog box appears.
- Enter the value in the num1 field.
Note: When you paste data equal to or exceeding 0.5 MB in the text box, the system disables editing
due to performance limitations. However, you can still use the respective buttons to copy and paste
the data and perform editing in an external tool.
- Click Save.
The value is set and the corresponding
field is represented with the Set Value icon. If you export this step, the
set value of this field is exported.
- Repeat the preceding steps to set values for the required fields.
Note: When running a set value operation on the root document node, if the document node contains
more than 60 child nodes, the set value operation might experience slight performance
issues.
Hover over the Set Value field to instantly view the configured
values, without needing to click or open the field box.
