Is this what you are looking for?
list: [name string! birthday date!]
foreach [field type] list [
switch type [
string! [value: "test"]
date! [value: "1-1-1"]
]
do reduce [to-set-word :field make do type value]
]
After execution, yielding:
>> name
== "test"
>> birthday
== 1-Jan-2001
Hope that helps.
