### Step

1. Drag a `button` component into the canvas and open the `Action` tab. Select the `press` event of the button.

2. Drag the `Variable.set` function to the event flow and change it's `name` param value to `originalObject`, and it's `value` param type to funtion / subflow. Inside `value` subflow add `Conversion.toObject` function and add two new paremeter `value1` and `value2` with their value as `val1` and `val2`.

3. Back to the main flow add the `Object.setAttribute` function, on it's `attribute` and `value` param add `newValue` as a value for both of them and change it's `object` parameter type to a function / subflow, inside it drag a `Variable.get` function and then fill it's `name` param value with `originalObject`.

4. Back to the main flow add the `Log.write` function and change it's `value` parameter type to a function / subflow, inside it drag a `Object.getAttribute` function and then fill it's `attribute` param value with `newValue` as for it's `object` param, change the param type into a function / subflow and add the `Varable.get` function inside, on it's `name` param add `originalObject` as the value.
