# Add a Field to Documents using an Ingest Action

To add a field to all documents retrieved by a fetch task, or all documents sent for ingestion, you can use an Ingest Action.

NOTE: To add a field only to selected documents, use a Lua script (see Run Lua Scripts). For an example Lua script that demonstrates how to add a field to a document, see Add a Field to a Document.

To add a field to documents using an Ingest Action

1. Open the connector’s configuration file.

2. Find one of the following sections in the configuration file:

   - To add the field to all documents retrieved by a specific fetch task, find the `[TaskName]` section.
   - To add a field to all documents that are sent for ingestion, find the `[Ingestion]` section.

   NOTE: If you set the `IngestActions` parameter in a `[TaskName]` section, the connector does not run any `IngestActions` set in the `[Ingestion]` section for documents retrieved by that task.

3. Use the `IngestActions` parameter to specify the name of the field to add, and the field value. For example, to add a field named `AUTN_NO_EXTRACT`, with the value `SET`, type:

       IngestActions0=META:AUTN_NO_EXTRACT=SET

4. Save and close the configuration file.
