# Set Input Value in Data Design {% hint style="info" %} **Block Information** Available in: Page Flow Toolbox Category: Dynamic Input Block Type: [Regular](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#regular-block) {% endhint %} **`Set Input Value in Data Design`** is a [regular block](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#regular-block) that allows you to set the value of [Input](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/input.md), [Dropdown](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/dropdown.md) and [Multi-line](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/multi-line.md) 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 Input Value in Data Design block

The behavior of the block is similar to the [Set Input Value](/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/set-input-value.md) block, with some important differences: * 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. * 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. The block consists of the following (from top to bottom): * *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 set the value 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. * *Data*: [Value Parameter](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#value-parameters) that accepts the value to set (of type [*text*](/app-editor/page-flow/references/value-types.md)*)* *** ## 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 [Input](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/input.md) element (*Input43*) for the owned quantity is set to the value of variable *b* (which has the value of *50*) for Company 1, which as rendered with the ID *ST100* .

Set Input Value in Data Design block example 1

The result of the above example is highlighted below, where the owned quantity [Input](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/input.md) element (*Input43*) is filled with the value *50* for Company 1.

Result of example 1

In the second example, we will demonstrate the scenario where neither ID nor ID2 are provided. In this case, the system will populate the owned quantity [Input](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/input.md) element (*Input43*) for all generated instances.

Set Input Value in Data Design block example 2

The result of the above example is highlighted below where the owned quantity [Input](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/input.md) element (*Input43*) is filled with *0* for both the companies.

Result of example 2
