Gets and sets the Data Element value item in case if items are of the String type.
One item corresponds to one Value in a Multi-valued Data Element.
According to DICOM standard, strings values in a multi-valued DataElement are separated by backslash (`\5C') character. Thus, if this character is found in the input string, it and all the following characters are ignored. Use property index to set multiple values.
If the Data Element is single valued, use String(0) to access its value.
Since every item of the string type Data Element is a variable length string, setting a new String value will modify the ValueLength property.
