Set Variable “Client Name” to text “%Variable%Defendant Name%”

It, together with text tokens, are a work horse in Keyboard Maestro for progressing past the basics:

• Tokens
• Set Variable to Text action

Similarly, functions and Set Variable to Calculation:

• Functions
• Set Variable to Calculation action

Similarly, collections and For Each:

• Collections
• For Each action

And finally, conditions and If Then Else (and other control flow actions).

• Conditions
• If Then Else action
• And other control flow actions like While.

This is the way Keyboard Maestro is designed - you can use Keyboard Maestro without any of those, but each pair will add a new dimension to what you can do, multiplying with all the previous things you’ve learnt.
