# Modify values

To change an input value, enter the value in the **Rename to** field, and set the **Replace value 'Fieldname' or 'Rename To'** field to `Y`. The **Rename to** field (or if this is blank, the **Fieldname**field) is used to lookup an existing field and replace its value and metadata type. If the specified field does not exist in the input stream, an error is passed onto the next step indicating that the field to be replaced could not be found.

The following example changes the value of the **field1** field in the input row with **Compatibility mode**selected:

```javascript
field1.setValue(100);
```

**Note:** `setValue()` takes all possible types that can be used in PDI.

# Agent Instructions

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.pentaho.com/pdia-data-integration/9.3-data-integration/pdi-transformation-steps-reference-overview/modified-java-script-value/java-script-pane/modify-values.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
