Linked list question modfiying element contents

I'm having trouble modifying the contents of a linked list element. Regular variables such as double, int, char are no problem:

temp->whateverthevariableisinthestruct = newvalue;

But i'm having problems with a char array that makes a customer name.

temp->customerName = customerName;



customerName;

is the new value (array) that i want to set and customerName is the variable in the struct.

It doesn't seem to compile

201 operands of = have illegal types 'array 30 of char' and 'pointer to char'

a sample code of writting/reading data into the list

Code:

---

#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>

struct node
{
    char name[25];
    struct node *link;
};

struct node * getnode()
{
    return malloc(sizeof(struct node));
}

void clear_buffer(void)
{
    int ch;
   
    while((ch=getchar())!='\n' && ch!=EOF);
}
struct node* insertnode(struct node *h)
{
    struct node *p;
    int data;
    char temp[25];
   
    if(h==NULL)
    {
        h=getnode();
        h->link=NULL;
        p=h;
    }
    else
    {   
        p=getnode();
        p->link=h;
    }
    printf("Enter the name\n?");
    clear_buffer(); 
    fgets(temp,sizeof(temp),stdin);  // fgets(p->name,sizeof(p->name),stdin) (better way of doing)
    strcpy(p->name,temp); 
    h=p;
  return h;
}

displaynodes(struct node *h)
{
    while(h!=NULL)
    {
        printf("%s\n",h->name);
        h=h->link;
    }
}

int main()
{
    struct node *h;
    int choice,i,search,del;
  h=NULL;
   
    printf("1. Insert an element\n");
    printf("2. Display elements\n");
    printf("3. Exit \n");
   
    printf("\nEnter your choice\n");
    scanf("%d",&choice);
   
    while(choice!=3)
    {
        switch(choice)
        {
            case 1:
            {
                h=insertnode(h);
                break;
            }
            case 2:
            {
                displaynodes(h);
                clear_buffer();
                getchar();
                break;
            }
            default:
                    printf("Error: Invalid input\n");
                    clear_buffer();
                    getchar();
        }
        printf("\n1. Insert an element\n");
        printf("2. Display elements\n");
        printf("3. Exit \n");
   
        printf("\nEnter your choice\n");
        scanf("%d",&choice);
    }
}

thanks. Just for reference the correct syntax is:

strcpy(temp->customerName,customerName);
