# Set Dictionary Element

## Overview

![The Set Dictionary Element Node.](/files/JKHqn0emQtBgIUf82o9w)

**Set Dictionary Element** updates one or more elements in a **Dictionary** to new values. For this, it receives the `Key` of the element to update to and the `Value` to which it will be updated.

If the `Key` does not exist in the **Dictionary**, it creates a new (`Key`, `Value`) pair.

## Attributes

### Inputs

`Inputs` - The number of elements you wish to set the value of. Each **Input** element has the following **Attributes**:

| Attribute       | Type                                         | Description                                                                                                    |
