# Add context data to an issue

You can add keys and values to an issue's context data to be used in playbooks or other automations.

To add context data to an issue, run the `Set` command in CLI, in a script, or in a playbook task. The Set command enables you to set a value under a specific key. For more information about the Set command, see [Set](https://xsoar.pan.dev/docs/reference/scripts/set).

<details>

<summary>Use the CLI</summary>

Run the `!Set` command in the issue **War Room**.

1. Open an issue and select the **War Room** tab.
2. Run the `!Set` command.

   Example 35. Example

   The following example adds the key and value `hello:world` to the issue context data.

   ```programlisting
   !set key="hello" value="world"
   ```

</details>

<details>

<summary>Use a script</summary>

In the JSON file, add `Set` to the `demisto.executeCommand` key.

The following example adds the key and value `hello:world` to the issue context data.

```programlisting
demisto.executeCommand("Set", {"key":"hello", "value":"world"})
```

</details>

<details>

<summary>Use a playbook</summary>

Use the `Set` script in a standard task.

Example: An issue's context data contains the following values:

```programlisting
{  
   "Account":
    {
      "firstName": "Bob",
      "lastName": "Jones",
    }
}
```

For an automation, you need to use the full name value. You can use the `Set` script to add an new `fullName` value to the JSON:

![addcontextdata.png](/files/Dy67x9upLDBaI6swsdm4)

Result:

```programlisting
{  
   "Account":
    {
      "firstName": "Bob",
      "fullName": "Bob Jones"
      "lastName": "Jones",
    }
}
```

</details>

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-cloud-runtime-security/cases-and-issues/investigation-and-response/automation/context-data/add-context-data-to-an-issue.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
