I need to find a way using Powershell to set the value of a field in a document library based on a folder name. So for example if there is a folder called "00170" and there is a field named "Reference", I would like the value of "00170" set to this field.

I have little to none scripting skills so would appreciate some help with this.

Thanks.

No need to use PowerShell.

Do you want to set the field in this folder to the folder name? If so, you can go to library settings > Column default value settings, select your folder under "Location to configure" section. enter image description here
Then click the "reference" field and set a default value for this field. enter image description here If you want to grant the folder name to the reference column of this folder, you can create a workflow to achieve your purpose. Just using "Update list Item" action in the workflow to grant the folder name to the reference column of current item. enter image description here
