Assign if not null

Question

Being a fan of null-coalescing operator and the null-propagating operator, I would like to assign something if the object is not null.

Something like:

myArray.FirstOrDefault()?.Value = newValue;

Instead of:

var temp = myArray.FirstOrDefault()

if(temp != null){
     temp.Value = newValue;
}

Is this possible?

(I am aware I could use SetValue() )

With C# 8.0 you can do this

temp ??= newValue;
