.. py:class:: buildbot.steps.master.SetProperties

:bb:step:`SetProperties` takes a dictionary to be turned into build properties.

It is similar to :bb:step:`SetProperty`, and meant to be used with a :ref:`renderer` function or a dictionary of  :ref:`Interpolate` objects which allows the value to be built from other property values:
