There isn't any way to set a breakpoint on all assignments to a chosen
member of a chosen structure type, regardless of which actual object
of that type is being modified.

You can set a watchpoint on a particular member of a particular
object; see the GDB manual on 'watchpoints'.

You can, of course, set a breakpoint on a particular assignment
statement.
