Action > SET_TEXT

See details here: SINGLE-LINE-TEXT, LONG-TEXT, HTML-TEXT actions

• If the target of the SET_TEXT action is a SINGLE-SELECT type field or a CLASSIFICATION, when the value to apply is not a key of an existing option/category of the target field, no value is applied to the target field. A warning message is then posted in the logs. More details here

Template details

TIP

If a read-only field has to be automatically calculated, it is recommended to use SINGLE-LINE-TEXT target and source fields, whatever the calculated value type is, as there is a field type compatibilty check for each target field. See here for more details. With a target SINGLE-LINE-TEXT field you can use almost any kind of source field.
