This step replaces the content of the found tag with a text. The step is similar to the Set Content step, but where the later insert the given text as markup, the Set Text step insert the text either ampersand encoded or as CDATA.

The step only works on XML variables. Note that this step neither validates the XML nor resolves entities.

Properties

Text

  • "Ampersand" specifies that the text should be ampersand encode when inserted, e.g. < becomes &lt;.
  • "CDATA" specifies that the text should be placed in a CDATA section.
