Set the Value of a Field

Assign values to new fields using the setField() function

logscale

item := 4
| setField(target="foo", value=item + 10)

Set the value of a target field as the result of an expression. This is equivalent to:

logscale

item := 4
| foo := item + 10

Starting with the source repository events.
logscale
```
item := 4
```
In a test event the field item is set to 4.
logscale
```
| setField(target="foo", value=item + 10)
```
Sets the value of the target field foo as the result of the expression value of item + 10.
Event Result set.

foo	item
14	4
