Set Value Of action is used to programmatically update the value of a specific element in the application. The content of form fields, text boxes or other components is dynamically changed according to user interactions or data received by the system.
Technical Specifications
Value Update: The value of form or screen components can be changed instantly.
Dynamic Data Transfer: User inputs or system responses can be transferred to components.
Platform Compatibility: Works on both web and mobile applications.
Symbol Picker Support: Parameter values can be taken from dynamic sources.
Set Value Of Action Implementation Steps
Adding Set Value Of Action to Project
Log in to the Kuika platform and open the project you are working on.
Switch to theUI Design module and open the Properties panel on the right panel.
From the+ ADD ACTION menu, select a suitable trigger action (event) such as Initial Actions, OnClick, OnBlur respectively → UI Control → Set Value Of.
Configuring the Set Value Of Action
In the settings panel that opens, you can configure the following fields:
Component to Change:
Type: String
Necessity Yes
Description: This is the field to select the element whose value is to be changed.
Input: A field is provided for the user to select the element. Data can be transferred to this field primarily from data sources such as Action Result. In addition, different sources such as Method Input, Current, Screen Input, Fixed or Component can also be used. These categories can be defined by selecting them via Symbol Picker.

Type: String
Necessity Yes
Description: The new value of the selected element is specified here. A dynamic value can also be entered.
Input: A text box is provided to receive the new value of the element from the user. Data can be transferred to this field primarily from data sources such as Action Result. Other sources such as Method Input, Current, Screen Input, Fixed or Component can also be used. These categories can be defined by selecting them via Symbol Picker.
Usage Scenario: Form Autofill
In a registration form, after the user enters their e-mail address, the system wants to automatically generate the username from this e-mail address. For example, when the user types “user@kuika.com”, the system should automatically write the username as “user” in another field in the form. You can easily do this with the Set Value Of action in Kuika.
Add Set Value Of Action
Log in to the Kuika platform.
Select the project you will work on from the Apps screen.
Switch to the UI Design module and open the screen with the form.
Open the Properties panel on the right side.
Select this field to define an action in the Email field.
From the + ADD ACTION drop-down menu:
Click Onclick → UI Control → Set Value Of.
Configure Set Value Of Parameters
In the panel that opens, configure the following fields:
Component to Change: Select the username field (example: txtUsername).
Value: Type an expression that takes the part of the email address before the @ sign.
This will automatically update the username field as the user enters values in the e-mail field.
After Action Usage
When Set Value Of action is executed:
The information entered in the e-mail field is immediately reflected in the username field.
The user does not need to enter the same information a second time.
The form filling process speeds up and the user experience improves.
Forms become smarter and more interactive.
Set Value Of Action Advanced Customizations
Personalized Notifications: User specific messages can be created with the User Name parameter.
Interaction with Navigation: With Navigate On Notification Click, the user can be redirected directly to a page when the notification is clicked.

Technical Risks and Controls
Destination Error: If the User Name field is entered incorrectly, the notification may be sent to the wrong user.
Excessively Long Messages: Especially on mobile, message fields are limited. Short and clear content should be preferred.
Incorrect Redirection: If page redirection is to be done, make sure that the page is available in the application.
