Set Values in an Omniscript (Managed Package)
For the managed package runtime, use the Set Values action to set element values in subsequent steps, rename JSON nodes, create dynamic values, and concatenate data. Set Values actions use merge fields to access JSON data in other Omniscript elements.
This information is for Omnistudio for Managed Packages. For Omnistudio on standard runtime, see Omnistudio Help.
Action elements either render as a button when in a step or run remotely when between steps. Set Values actions are usually between steps.
Use the Set Values action to:
- Access and rename JSON data in other Omniscript elements by using merge fields
- Populate subsequent elements with values
- Concatenate values
- Set values sent into the JSON data from a response or parameter
- Use Omniscript Functions and Supported Formula Operators to set values
Don’t use the Set Values action to:
- Transform data
- Relabel incoming JSON data
Instead, use Integration Procedures and Omnistudio Data Mappers.
Any text between two percent (%) signs in a Set Values formula is treated as a merge field. To represent literal
percent (%) signs, use the $Vlocity.Percent
environment variable.
The Set Values action doesn’t support custom labels.

- Rename Data JSON Nodes (Managed Package)
For the managed package runtime, simplify and rename JSON node names by accessing the values in an Omniscript's data JSON. Access data sent into the Omniscript's data JSON from a parameter, an action's response data, or an element using merge fields. - Populate Elements (Managed Package)
For the managed package runtime, populate subsequent input elements with values from data JSON, formula operators, functions, concatenations, and static values. Prefill an element directly from an Omnistudio Data Mapper or Action response whenever possible. When a previous element assigns a value to a subsequent input element's Name, the subsequent input element is populated with the assigned value. - Concatenate Values (Managed Package)
For the managed package runtime, create dynamic values by concatenating JSON node values. - Set Data with Formulas and Functions (Managed Package)
For the managed package runtime, generate dynamic values by evaluating data with Formulas and using functions to return specific values. - Set and Access Nested Data (Managed Package)
For the managed package runtime, set and access nested data by editing the Set Values JSON directly and using specific syntax.
