        },
        {
            "_op": "set_field_conditional",
            "conditional_field": "type",
            "conditional_values": ["data1", "data2"],

}

Example of the data and the expected results

const data = [
    DataEntity.make({
        id: 1,
        test_prop: 'value'
    }),
    DataEntity.make({
        id: 2,
        type: 'data2'
    }),
    DataEntity.make({
        id: 3,
        type: 'data3'
    }),
]

const results = await processor.run(data);

results === [
    { id: 1, type: 'data1', test_prop: true },
    { id: 2, type: 'data2', test_prop: true },
    { id: 3, type: 'data3' }
]
