2. Edit the **Set Parameters** Create Variable action.
3. To change weight:
   1. Modify the weight value for any existing scoring object to an integer between 0 and 10.
4. To remove scoring objects from the calculation
   1. Delete any of the objects within the finding\_parameters parent object
5. To add a new scoring object
   1. Create a new scoring object under the finding\_parameters base object
   2. Give it a unique name
   3. Create a new integer value called “weight” and give it any value 0 or greater
   4. Create a new integer value called “max\_value” and assign the maximum value that the first can possibly have.
      1. For booleans, use 1 as a max\_value.
6. Create a string value with the name of "key" and assign to it the field name from the vulnerability\_finding object that is being added
7. Create a string value called "name" and assign the display name of the new scoring object.
8. If the new scoring object is a boolean, do the following:
