# setInputValuesWithPropertyList(_:)

Sets the values for the input keys of the composition from a previously saved property list.

```
func setInputValuesWithPropertyList(_ plist: Any!)
```

## Discussion

This is a convenience method that allows you to restore the set of input values that you obtained previously by calling the method [`propertyListFromInputValues()`](/documentation/Quartz/QCCompositionRenderer/propertyListFromInputValues()). If the property list object does not define a value for an input key, or if the value is not of the proper type, Quartz Composer does not set a value for the corresponding input port.
