How to change value of field in a array of structures

Is there a quicker way to do this?

for iStruct = 1:length(myStruct)
myStruct(iStruct).field = 'New Value';
end

I think you meant

[myStruct.field] = deal('New Value')

Hi Bruno, Hi Jiro

Thank you very much. I thought there must be some easy way to do this.

With best regards
