# setObject:forKeyedSubscript:

Stores an object in the record using the specified key.

## Declaration

```occ
- (void) setObject:(id<CKRecordValue>) object forKeyedSubscript:(CKRecordFieldKey) key;
```

## Parameters

- `object`: The object to store using the specified key. It must be one of the data types in doc://com.apple.cloudkit/documentation/CloudKit/CKRecord#Supported-Data-Types. You receive an error if you use a data type that CloudKit doesn’t support. If you specify nil, CloudKit removes any object that the record associates with the key.
- `key`: The key to associate with object. Use this key to retrieve the value later. A key must consist of one or more alphanumeric characters and must start with a letter. CloudKit permits the use of underscores, but not spaces. Avoid using a key that matches the name of any property of CKRecord.

## Discussion

Discussion important: Don’t call this method directly. The presence of this method is necessary to support subscripting syntax for record objects.
