Can you set a Slider value with UISlider.current.value

Hi,
I'm using a UISlider and wanted to know if it was possible to set the value using UISlider.current.value? I tried doing this:
UISlider.current.value = 0.5;

but got a null reference. This is with the slider visible and interacted with.

Well, you just could reference the Slider, like this:

1. UISlider m_slider;
2.  
3. void Start()
4. {
5. m_slider = GetComponent<UISlider>();
6.  
7. m_slider.value = 0.5f;
8. }

Thanks. I'll probably just do the reference, but was wondering if there was a way to do it without.
