Block Context

Channels

Value

Scope

Any

Set (palette name Set) writes named variables in the current scope. Inside a loop body those names stay in that body. Use Update to change a name that already exists outside this body.

You can also set starting names on Start and Lambda instead of a separate Set block.

Each row is a Key plus a Value (fixed or a context path). The same object is written to the data pipe.

Configure

Setting	Description
Key	Name other blocks will use (for example `status`). Must be a valid Liquid and JavaScript identifier; reserved names such as `args` are not allowed.
Value	Literal or a variable path from this block’s context
Add variable	Appends the row

Add as many rows as you need. Duplicate keys are ignored.

Handles

Handle	Role
In (target)	Incoming connection
Out (source)	Continues after the names are set

Pipe schema

The next block reads this on the data pipe (pipe.value).

Field	Type	Description
Set variables	object	One property per Key, with that row’s resolved value

Downstream blocks can also bind the names directly (status, not only pipe.value.status).

Use case

Inside a loop body, name the current item or a computed flag without changing the outer run.
Build a small object of working values for the next few blocks in this scope.
On the main path, create total = 0 before a loop, then Update total inside the loop.
