The setPartialTextBuffer action is a special action that makes the use of variables (or buffers) easy. It can be used for storing static text or text from any element for later use.

The difference between this and the set action, is that this action can store parts of text into buffers, instead of the complete text.

Setting variables

The setPartialTextBuffer keyword is mainly used to subtract data from elements and places them into a given variable name.
