In the Creating a Relationship challenge, we created a new Movie node for the movie Get Out. However, we forgot to add a a tagline or release year.
Run this Cypher, you will see that the tagline and released properties are null:
MATCH (m:Movie {title: 'Get Out'})
RETURN m.title, m.tagline, m.releasedModify this Cypher to use the SET clause to add the following properties to the Movie node:
-
tagline: Gripping, scary, witty and timely!
-
released: 2017

Once you have run the query, click the Check Database button and we will check the database for you.
Hint
Use MATCH to find the Movie node and then use SET to add the properties using the reference to the node. Use a comma (,) to separate the properties you are adding.
For example:
MATCH (x.Label)
SET x.firstProp = "xxx", x.secondProp = yyyFind the Movie and check that the node’s properties have been set:
MATCH (m:Movie {title: 'Get Out'})
RETURN m.title, m.tagline, m.releasedIf you view the node in table view, you will see the properties.
The properties name and values are case sensitive.
Solution
You can run the following query to set the tagline and released properties for Get Out.
MATCH (m:Movie {title: 'Get Out'})
SET m.tagline = 'Gripping, scary, witty and timely!',
m.released = 2017Summary
In this challenge, you demonstrated that you can add properties to a node. In the next lesson, you will learn how to add or update properties when a node is created or retrieved.
