Replacement of Structure array field with array

I have a structure with a field. I want to replace the field value for each element of the structure. I thought that this would work since it returns the values, but it errors out: [S.x] = 1:10

Want to vectorize this: for i = 1:10 S(i).x = i; end

I've seen similar questions, but nothing that seemed to work.

Thanks!

If S is already defined, then

C = num2cell(1:10);
[S.x] = C{:};

This is a simple application of the comma separated list:

To do this with a direct typing took me a bit to figure out: [S.x] = deal(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10);

Not sure why I need to use deal, when [S.x] = C{:}; doesn't.

Thanks!
