You can set the value of a field without opening up the node. Works on multiple nodes at once.
Use the command palette <cmd/ctrl + k> to set the value of a field on one or multiple nodes. This will only work on fields that have a constrained set of values. This includes Instance, Fixed Options, and Dynamic Options fields, as well as any field with the advanced configuration `autocollect = Yes`
The Set Fields command will also only work to select options that are already created - in the example above, I could not have set the Author to a Person that had not been created yet.
