# Set Dictionary Element

## Overview

![The Set Dictionary Element Node.](https://926825830-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FKQhJdUBr7YQzfIwmpAZ9%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-d516c566f835a4f14bfaecb0f80a5a44aeee0065%2Fsetdictionaryelementupdatedimage.png?alt=media)

**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.

[**Scope**](https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/2022.1/overview#scopes): **Project**, **Scene**, **Function**, **Prefab**.
