When target pages are specified that do not yet exist on the clipboard, the Set action creates the pages.
When the data model format is JSON, there are the following differences in behavior:
Set .pyWorkIDPrefix equal to "W-" Set .HardwareItems(1).Price equal to ""
The Set action has a fixed Relation setting of equal to. That is, the Set action always sets the target equal to the source, and makes no other sort of relationship between the target and source.

The class of the target does not have to match the class of the source.
