Assign activity
When you are working in the
Development Studio application, the Assign activity is used to assign values to one or more context items. You can assign a string, numeric value, date, XML, context item, dynamic context, or module configuration values. You can apply transforms to the string, XML, context item, module configuration, or dynamic context types.
You can also use the Assign activity to remove a context item or a dynamic context.
The Property panel for an Assign activity displays the Properties, Logging, and Metadata tabs.
