Please check the forums for similar posts before starting a new thread. This question has been answered dozens of times already. You have the ElementId scheduled so this should be straight forward. Get the element from the Id and then set the value.

How can I combine that?

That doesn’t look like your original file. You need the Ids and the new names so that you can get the correct element before changing the parameter value.
