How to change properties of object in bulk?

I've set an entity inside a loop with many properties.

entity = {id:1, name:link, date:20201111, note:'',...}

I must use the 'setProperty' method to assign a value to each property.
My process now looks like this, which is uncomfortable to read

for (list) {
// reset entity
set(var(entity), json(id:'',name:'',...))

// set entity
setProperty(var(entity),key,val)
setProperty(var(entity),key,val)
setProperty(var(entity),key,val)
setProperty(var(entity),key,val)
setProperty(var(entity),key,val)
setProperty(var(entity),key,val)


Add a row into a table{
 file:...,
 table:...,
 row:var(entity)
}

.... 
}

Is there a way to assign values in bulk?
or you can merge these assignment statements into a single statement?

Yes, you can just write a compose and define the whole thing in one step. Here is one like it in one of my flows:
Does that make sense?

Yes, this is what I was hoping for.
Thank you!

There may be a problem with my json splicing, I used to use the json function to convert the string to set the value.
It's horrible to write.😅
json('{ "name":"link", "age":' + items('getAge') + ',' + '"item":' + ....., }') // or use json(concat( ... ))
