Setting a field based on an object name?

[HALBURN]

I am using GetLayoutObjectAttribute script step to grab the value of a field. What script step do I need to use to set this same object with a new value? Do I need to use the GetLayoutObjectAttribute to grab the Field Name and then use the "Set Field By Name" script step to set it...or is there a more efficient way to set it?

use the GetLayoutObjectAttribute to grab the Field Name and then use the "Set Field By Name" script step to set it

​That will work; why not try it?

For some reason my script step is not grabbing the field's name.

GetLayoutObjectAttribute( GetValue( Get ( ScriptParameter ) ; 1 ) ;  "fields")

I am successfully using this to grab the fields current value:

GetLayoutObjectAttribute( GetValue( Get ( ScriptParameter ) ; 1 ) ;  "content")

GetLayoutObjectAttribute() has no “fields” attribute; use "source".

Yes, "source". Thanks eos.
