Update a Text Field

[macroman]

I have a field:
Type: Variable
Name: ClientName
Format: Text

The field is already within the .odt document, with the default value set to “Name”
I would like to update this value to a given client name (string value) “John Smith”

I have already checked out a lot of documentation and having no luck…
I imagined it would be something along these lines:
NameField = Doc.getTextFieldMasters().getByName(“ClientName”)
NameField.Content = “JohnSmith”
