Set text on text element

Function: Set text on text element​

This action allows you to dynamically change the text displayed within any text-based element on your application's screen, such as labels, headings, or text within buttons. It's perfect for personalizing messages, displaying calculated results, or updating status information without needing to refresh the entire page.

Input​

  • Element (PART): The specific text box, label, heading, or other UI element on your screen whose text you want to modify. You must select an existing element from your application's layout.
  • Value (STRING): The new words, numbers, or symbols you want to display in the selected text element. This can be a fixed piece of text or a value from another part of your application (like a user's name or a calculation result).

Output​

This action does not produce any direct output. Instead, it immediately updates the text of the chosen element on your application's screen.
