The **Set Node** is used to **set (Write) a value** in the schema or in a public variable.

The value that is set into the schema location or public variable can come from the schema, a public variable, or a literal value. As an example, shown below, the KWID value (in the Schema Profile section) is set to a literal "firstName".

While adding any of the following profile destinations to the **Set node**, it gets rejected, and an error notification will pop up:

- JourneySteps
- Interactions
- MetaData values

This data reference must be one of the following: **Public Variable**, **Schema**, **Profile Identifiers**, or **Profile Attributes**.

The Set Node returns true if it was successful - it does not return the value of the value that was set. The Set Node is a shortcut for copying values between data locations.
