Introduction:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you use custom scripts, sometimes you will want to pass a scripted variable to a custom field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll also learn see a script with conditions where you can update the value of a custom field after comparing 2 values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Important:<\/strong> DT.setField function cannot be used on the last node for V2 DTs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The syntax looks like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<script>\n\n\/* Syntax *\/\nDT.setField('variable_name', 'value');\n\n\/* Static value parameter *\/\nDT.setField('first_name', 'Aubrey');\n\n\/* Custom field parameter *\/\nDT.setField('first_name', '{custom_field}');\n\n\/* Scripted field parameter *\/\nvar name = 'Aubrey';\nDT.setField('first_name', name);\n\n<\/script><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Note that the first parameter is the custom field name without the curly brackets. So {full_name} would be written as ‘full_name’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The second parameter is the value you want to pass to the custom field. This can be static text, another custom field, or a scripted variable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here’s an example, where we pass a JavaScript variable to a LeadsHook custom field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s another example where we append two custom fields and send the result into one custom field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
