Updating field in another document with clientside script?

Frappe Framework Custom Script
1

Is it possible to update and save another document with a client side custom script?

2

Should be possible using frappe.client.set_value frappe/client.py at develop · frappe/frappe · GitHub

I’ve attempted to use this, I made the following script:

frappe.ui.form.on("Testbed DocType A", {
    button: function(frm) {
        frappe.call({
            "method": "frappe.client.set_value",
            "args": {
                "doctype": "Item",
                "name": frm.doc.item,
                "fieldname": ["workflow_state"],
                "value": frm.doc.status
            }
        });
    }
});

It gives me the following error on execution:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    response = frappe.handler.handle()

frappe.ui.form.on("Testbed DocType A", {
    button: function(frm) {
        frappe.call({
            "method": "frappe.client.set_value",
            "args": {
                "doctype": "Item",
                "name": frm.doc.item,
                "fieldname": "workflow_state",
                "value": frm.doc.status
            }
        });
    }
});

This works! Thanks @rmehta, @max_morais_dmm
