Parameters

The name of the field to update.

value  FieldType

 

Type Parameters

FieldType

The type of the field

The template parameter must match the type of the field (specified when creating the Schema) exactly; this method does not perform data type conversions. The types for containers are IList for arrays and IDictionary for maps.

Note that when string values are specified as map keys, they are case-insensitive.

This method only modifies your copy of the Entity. Store the Entity in an element or another Entity to save the new value. Write access check is not performed on each call to Set. Instead, write access is checked when you try to save the Entity in an Element or another Entity.

This method is a shortcut that will look up the field by name. If you want to call it on many entities, it is faster if you look up the field yourself.
