`<CommonParameters>`

This cmdlet supports Microsoft PowerShell common parameters. For more information on common parameters, see [ Microsoft Docs](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_commonparameters?view=powershell-7).

## Output Object
The cmdlet returns the [`VBRJobScriptOptions`](vbrjobscriptoptions.md) object that contains job script options.

## Examples

::: example
### Modifying Script Options [Using Variable]

This example shows how to get the script options for a computer backup job, save them to a variable, then modify the script options and re-save them to the variable.

```
$job = Get-VBRComputerBackupJob -Name "Backup Job"
$scriptOptions = $job.ScriptOptions
$newScriptOptions = Set-VBRJobScriptOptions -JobScriptOptions $scriptOptions -Periodicity Days -Day Thursday
Set-VBRComputerBackupJob -Job $job -ScriptOptions $newScriptOptions
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRComputerBackupJob`](get-vbrcomputerbackupjob.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$job` variable.
2. Save the `ScriptOptions` property of the `$job` variable to the `$scriptOptions` variable.
3. Run the `Set-VBRJobScriptOptions` cmdlet. Specify the following settings:

   - Set the `$scriptOptions` variable as the `JobScriptOptions` parameter value.
   - Set the `Days` option for the `Periodicity` parameter.
   - Specify the `Day` parameter value.

   Save the result to the `$newScriptOptions` variable.

4. Run the [`Set-VBRComputerBackupJob`](set-vbrcomputerbackupjob.md) cmdlet. Set the `$job` variable as the `Job` parameter value. Set the `$newScriptOptions` variable as the `ScriptOptions` parameter value.
