Edit Set <Variable | Component | Property> dialog box

Use this dialog box to set up and maintain variables, components, or properties, depending on the context or what parent dialog box calls up this dialog box.

Validators of several event response types can output values based on variables, components or properties. These response types include In Collection, In Inline List, In List Cache, Load Collection, Method Call, Run Form, and Set Values.

Depending on the context in which this dialog box displays, the Edit Target and Edit Value buttons might or might not be displayed.

This dialog box prompts users for the target and source for a given clause from a set values specification. The fields in the dialog box appear depending on the context in which it is displayed.
