+# @value
+
+The `@value` directive defines a value that can be applied in various contexts, each with specific behaviors.
+  - When applied to a field, selecting the field will return the specified value.
+
+If no arguments are provided (`@value`) then the value is `null`.
+
+View the [documentation](https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/api-connect/ace/saas?topic=directives-directive-value) on the custom directive `@value`.
