# Set-DSEntryProperty

### Synopsis

Set a property on an entry. The entry is not saved to the server.

### Syntax

#### \_\_AllParameterSets

```
Set-DSEntryProperty [-Entry] <ConnectionInfoEntity> [[-Path] <string>] [-PropertyName] <string>
 [-PropertyValue] <Object> [<CommonParameters>]
```

### Description

Set a property on an entry and return the modified object. The entry is not saved to the server; use Update-DSEntryBase -FromRDMConnection to persist changes. This cmdlet enables pipeline-based property updates, allowing multiple property modifications before saving.

### Examples

#### Example 1

```powershell
PS C:\> $entry = Get-DSEntry -EntryID "{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}" -AsRDMConnection
PS C:\> $entry.ConnectionInfo | Set-DSEntryProperty -PropertyName "HostPassword" -PropertyValue "MyNewPassword" | Update-DSEntryBase
```

Get an entry, set its password, and save it to the server. This is intended for non-credential entries; for credential entries, see the following example.

#### Example 2

```powershell
PS C:\> $entry = Get-DSEntry -EntryID "{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}" -AsRDMConnection
PS C:\> $entry.ConnectionInfo | Set-DSEntryProperty -Path "Credentials" -PropertyName "Password" -PropertyValue "MyNewPassword" | Update-DSEntryBase
```

Set a credential entry's password.

#### Example 3

```powershell
PS C:\> $entry = Get-DSEntry -EntryID "{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}" -AsRDMConnection
PS C:\> $entry.ConnectionInfo | Set-DSEntryProperty -Path "MetaInformation" -PropertyName "Keywords" -PropertyValue "production web-server critical" | Update-DSEntryBase
```

Set tags on an entry using the MetaInformation path. Tags are space-separated. Tags containing spaces should be quoted.

#### Example 4

```powershell
PS C:\> Get-DSEntry -FilterBy Name -FilterMatch StartsWith -FilterValue "Prod" -SearchAllVaults |
    Set-DSEntryProperty -Path "MetaInformation" -PropertyName "Keywords" -PropertyValue "production" |
    Update-DSEntryBase
```

Get entries whose name starts with 'Prod' across all vaults and set the 'production' tag on each.

#### Example 5

```powershell
PS C:\> $entry = Get-DSEntry -EntryID "{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}" -AsRDMConnection
PS C:\> $entry.ConnectionInfo |
    Set-DSEntryProperty -PropertyName "Name" -PropertyValue "Production Server" |
    Set-DSEntryProperty -PropertyName "Host" -PropertyValue "server.windjammer.loc" |
    Set-DSEntryProperty -PropertyName "Group" -PropertyValue "Production\Servers\Web" |
    Set-DSEntryProperty -PropertyName "Description" -PropertyValue "Production web server" |
    Set-DSEntryProperty -PropertyName "HostUserName" -PropertyValue "admin" |
    Set-DSEntryProperty -PropertyName "HostDomain" -PropertyValue "WINDJAMMER" |
    Set-DSEntryProperty -PropertyName "HostPassword" -PropertyValue "SecurePass123" |
    Update-DSEntryBase
```

Chain multiple property updates in a pipeline before saving: rename, change host, move to folder, set its description and its credentials.

#### Example 6

```powershell
PS C:\> $entry = Get-DSEntry -EntryID "{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}" -AsRDMConnection
PS C:\> $entry.ConnectionInfo |
    Set-DSEntryProperty -Path "MetaInformation" -PropertyName "CustomField1Title" -PropertyValue "Department" |
    Set-DSEntryProperty -Path "MetaInformation" -PropertyName "CustomField1Value" -PropertyValue "Engineering" |
    Set-DSEntryProperty -Path "MetaInformation" -PropertyName "CustomField2Title" -PropertyValue "API Key" |
    Set-DSEntryProperty -Path "MetaInformation" -PropertyName "CustomField2ValueSensitive" -PropertyValue "sk-abc123def456" |
    Set-DSEntryProperty -Path "MetaInformation" -PropertyName "CustomField2Hidden" -PropertyValue $true |
    Update-DSEntryBase
```

Set custom fields on an entry. CustomField\[1-5]Value stores plain text, while CustomField\[1-5]ValueSensitive automatically encrypts values when saved. Set CustomField\[1-5]Hidden to true to mark encrypted fields as sensitive in the UI.

#### Example 7

```powershell
PS C:\> $entry = Get-DSEntry -EntryID "{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}" -AsRDMConnection
PS C:\> $entry.ConnectionInfo |
    Set-DSEntryProperty -Path "MetaInformation" -PropertyName "CustomField1Hidden" -PropertyValue $false |
    Set-DSEntryProperty -Path "MetaInformation" -PropertyName "CustomField1Value" -PropertyValue "plain text value" |
    Update-DSEntryBase
```

Convert a sensitive custom field to plain text by setting CustomField\[1-5]Hidden to false and setting CustomField\[1-5]Value. The sensitive value is automatically cleared.
