![The Dictionary Value Node.](/files/-MfDxPSSrAQJWFGg6SC1)

The **Dictionary Value** node defines a **Dictionary** by setting its *(key, value)* pairings.

## Attributes

### Inputs

`Inputs` - The number of **Input** elements you wish to add to the **Attribute section**. Each **Input** element represents a *(key, value)* pair that is added to the **Dictionary Value** **Node**. The pairs in this section are used if no **Dictionary** is provided to the **Input** **Node**. The format of the section is the following:

| Attribute    | Type                                          | Description                                                                          |
| ------------ | --------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `Key`        | **String**                                    | The `Key` you wish to add to the **Dictionary Value** **Node**.                      |
| `Value Type` | **Drop-down**                                 | The `Data Type` of the `Value` you wish to add to the **Dictionary Value** **Node**. |
| `Value`      | *Defined in the* `Data Type` ***Attribute***. | The `Value` you wish to give to the `Key` introduced above.                          |

## Inputs

| Input             | Type           | Description                                                            |
| ----------------- | -------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| *Pulse Input* (►) | **Pulse**      | A standard **Input Pulse**, to trigger the execution of the **Node**.  |
| `Input`           | **Dictionary** | A **Dictionary** you wish to add to the **Dictionary Value** **Node**. |

## Outputs

| Output             | Type           | Description                                                                                                                            |
| ------------------ | -------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| *Pulse Output* (►) | **Pulse**      | A standard **Output Pulse**, to move onto the next **Node** along the **Logic Branch**, once this **Node** has finished its execution. |
| `Output`           | **Dictionary** | The **Dictionary** holding the (`Key`, `Value`) pairs that were added to the **Dictionary Value** **Node**.                            |
