You can access the values stored in a name-value pairs field in scripts using the
name.

## Sample script {#name-value-pair-scripting__section_tjh_wtz_lz}

The following example demonstrates how to add mappings to a name-value pairs field, and how to query existing values using the name.

    // Script example demonstrating setting and getting values
    var gr = new GlideRecord('u_nv_table');
    gr.initialize();

    gr.nv_field.name1 = "value1"; //add a name-value Pair mapping with the name "name1" and value "value1"
    gr.nv_field.name2 = "value2"; //add another name-value Pair mapping with the name "name2" and value "value2"

    // Access by dot notation
    gs.print("name1 = " + gr.nv_field.name1); // Expected output: name1 = value1

    // Iterate over each property and print name and value
    for(var name in gr.nv_field) {
        gs.print(name + " = " + gr.nv_field[name]);
    }

    gs.print(gr.nv_field); // Expected output: {"name1":"value1","name2":"value2"}
