This function Sets the Value of a single Field in a Record with a specific ID. The first parameter is the Name of a Table Occurrence of the Table to Set The Field Value in. If you do not specify this parameter, CNS Query will use Get(LayoutTableName) to get the Current Layout TO to Set the Field Value in. The second parameter is the Name of the Field to Set. The third parameter is the new Value for the Field. The fourth parameter is the Internal FileMaker Record ID of the Record to Set the Field Value in. If you do not specify this parameter, CNS Query will use Get(RecordID) to get the Record ID. By default, CNS Query will check to make sure the TO Name, the Field Name, and the Record ID you specify exist before attempting to Set the Field Value. If you already know for sure that the TO Name, the Field Name, and the Record ID exist, you can pass True as the fifth, sixth, and seventh parameters.
