Set Content
Set Content is a regular block that allows you to set the content of any element on the page or form.
Refer to the Set Content in Data Design block for dynamically generated content.
The block comes in two modes which are discussed below.
Mode 1
The Mode 1 version of the Set Content block consists of (from left to right):
Behavior: Dropdown configuration setting that allows you to choose from three options:
Set Content of: Overwrite the contents of the chosen Element with Content provided.
Append to: Add the Content provided to the existing content of the chosen Element.
Prepend to: Add the Content provided before any existing content of the chosen Element.
Element: Selectable Input to choose the element you want to change the content of.
Content: Value Parameter that accepts a text value containing the content you want to set.
Mode 2
The Mode 2 version of the Set Content block consists of (from left to right):
Behavior: Dropdown configuration setting that allows you to choose from three options:
Set Content of: Overwrite the contents of the chosen Element with Content provided.
Append to: Add the Content provided to the existing content of the chosen Element.
Prepend to: Add the Content provided before any existing content of the chosen Element.
Element: Value Parameter that accepts either a text value in the form of a CSS Selector or an element value. The Element block comes pre-attached for your convenience but can be removed and customized.

In the next example we see a Mode 2 version where the Element value parameter is attached to an Element block.
The next example also shows a Mode 2 version but this time the Element value parameter is attached to a Text block containing a CSS Selector that selects the same element.
NOTE: Using a CSS selector, you can operate on multiple elements that match the criteria specified by the selector. See the references below for more information:
The last example shows the Content value parameter attached to a Variable Value block.
