dict::Set<T>

Sets a value into a dictionary.

On this page	Inputs Outputs
Since	20.0

Takes as input a dictionary, key, and value, and outputs an edited version of the dictionary with the entry at key set to value.

The dict ports of this node are in-place ports, which means that the dictionary is updated without creating a copy.
