Value to Write
Set the value that will be written when the completed object is clicked. If the associated tag is an analog or digital output, this may be any value that is legal for that tag. Otherwise, this value should match one of the configured states for the associated selector switch.
If this value is not set, the button will not work.

If set, the operator will need to confirm every value change made by this method.
