# Set Content in Data Design {% hint style="info" %} **Block Information** Available in: Page Flow Toolbox Category: Dynamic Content Block Type: [Regular](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#regular-block) {% endhint %} **`Set Content in Data Design`** is a [regular block](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#regular-block) that allows you to set the content of elements that were generated using the [Content from Data Design](/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/content-from-data-design.md) block and dynamically added to the page or form.

Set Content in Data Design block

The behavior of the block is similar to the [Set Content](/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/set-content.md) block, with some important differences: * Element Selection: You can only choose an element placed inside the selected [Data Design](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/data-design.md) element. * Works only with elements generated using [Content from Data Design](/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/content-from-data-design.md) block that are dynamically added. The block consists of the following (from top to bottom): * *Behavior*: [Dropdown configuration setting](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#dropdown) that allows you to choose from three options: 1. Set: Overwrite the contents of the chosen *Element* with *Content* provided. 2. Append: Add the *Content* provided to the existing content of the chosen *Element*. 3. Prepend: Add the *Content* provided before any existing content of the chosen *Element*. * *Data Design*: [Selectable Input](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#selectable-input) to choose the [Data Design](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/data-design.md) element whose element you want to target. * *Element*: [Selectable Input](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#selectable-input) to choose the element, within the selected [Data Design](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/data-design.md), you want to change the content of. * *ID*: Optional [Value Parameter](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#value-parameters) that accepts a [*text*](/app-editor/page-flow/references/value-types.md) value representing the unique value that was provided to the [Content from Data Design](/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/content-from-data-design.md) block. See below for more details. * *ID2*: Optional [Value Parameter](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#value-parameters) that accepts a [*text*](/app-editor/page-flow/references/value-types.md) value representing the secondary identifier that can be used to identify the desired element. See below for more details. * *Content*: [Value Parameter](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#value-parameters) that accepts a [*text*](/app-editor/page-flow/references/value-types.md) value containing the content you want to set. *** ## ID and ID2 usage The behavior of this block depends on the ID and ID2 [value parameters](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#value-parameters) and is detailed below: * ID and ID2 not provided: Operate on the selected element for all generated instances of the same [Data Design](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/data-design.md) element. * ID2 provided and ID not provided: Operate on the selected element for all generated instances of the same [Data Design](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/data-design.md) element with the same ID2 value. * ID provided and ID2 not provided: Operate on the selected element for all generated instances of the same [Data Design](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/data-design.md) element with the same ID value. Since we recommend the ID value to be unique, this would choose one from all the generated instances of the associated [Data Design](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/data-design.md) element. * ID and ID2 provided: Operate on the selected element for all generated instances of the same [Data Design](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/data-design.md) element with the same ID and ID2 value. *** ## Usage Examples {% hint style="info" %} **NOTE: Please refer to the prerequisite information shown** [**here**](/app-editor/page-flow/references/prerequisite-for-dynamic-content-block-examples.md) **before seeing the example.** {% endhint %} The image below shows an example in which the content of the [Text](/app-editor/page-editor/editing-text.md) element that displays the current stock price (*Text460*) is set to *123.4* for Company 2, which is rendered with the ID *ST101* .

Example 1 of Set Content in Data Design block

The result of the above example is highlighted below, where the stock price for Company 2 is displayed with the value we set.

Result of the example 1

In the second example, we will demonstrate the case where neither ID nor ID2 are provided. In this scenario, the system will set the content of the [Text](/app-editor/page-editor/editing-text.md) element (*Text460*) for all generated instances of the selected Data Design element.

Example 2 of Set Content in Data Design block

In the above image the ID and ID2 value parameters are left blank and the Content value parameter is set to the text "Loading...: . The result of the above example is highlighted below where the [Text](/app-editor/page-editor/editing-text.md) element showing the stock price of both companies says "Loading..."

Result of the example 2
