# Change the Target Output of a Transformation (Anypoint Studio)

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

By default, the Transform Message component outputs to the message payload. You can change this
target, so that the result of your transformation populates another part of the output such as a
property or variable.

1.  Click **Edit Current Target** above the DataWeave code editor.

2.  Specify where in the output Mule message to place the result of your DataWeave transform. In
    case you’re creating a new variable or property, you must also set a name for it.
