    As Parshant wrote, you use the call:

    http://community.lithium.com/<communityid>/restapi/vc/settings/name/name_last/set?value=<yourvalue>

    but notice the ?value=yourvalue part that was missing in his post, that's how you pass the value...

    and of course you have to adapt the API path to reflect the node where you want to set the setting value, the above call will set it on community level, if you want it for a category for example, you would do:

    http://community.lithium.com/<communityid>/restapi/vc/categories/id/<categoryid>/settings/name/name_last/set?value=<yourvalue>

    srinivaskiranp,

    Firstly you need to set these settings in your profile using API V1

     

    http://community.lithium.com/community-name/restapi/vc/settings/name/name_last/set

    After only then you can get the value using below context-object

    ${coreNode.settings.name.name_last}
