Need to Storing Multiple Values from json comma seperated.

[mdshahvez11]

Hello everyone ,
I have a JOSN of watchlist users ,  in some case those can be multiple so i need to store there names and emails in a string type field ',' separated.

{
"size": 4,
"start": 0,
"limit": 50,
"isLastPage": true,
"_links": {
"self": "--------------------",
"base": "------------------",
"context": ""
},
"values": [
{
"accountId": "-----------------------------------------",
"emailAddress": "This 1",
"displayName": "This 2",
"active": true,
"timeZone": "Asia/Calcutta",
"_links": {
"Rest": "------------------------------",
"avatarUrls": {
"48x48": "------------------",
"24x24": "---------------------",
"16x16": "--------------------",
"32x32": "-------------"
},
"self": "------------------"
}
},
{
"accountId": "-------------------------",
"displayName": "This 3",
"active": true,
"timeZone": "Asia/Calcutta",
"_links": {
"jiraRest": "-----------------------",
"avatarUrls": {

}
}
]
}



like above JSON we have 2 display names
so I need to store them in one string field "," separated.
In my current flow I'm getting the last name of the participant , earlier one getting override.

Can anyone suggest me the correct way to achieve this.

 You can use the scripted option of the update step to concatenate the values, think something like

yourVariable += yourVariable

I tried something like this

(function transformWatchList(userString) {

    if (!userString) {

        return '';

    }

    var userNames = userString.split(',');

    var sysIds = [];

    var userGR = new GlideRecord('sys_user');

    for (var i = 0; i < userNames.length; i++) {

        var userName = userNames[i].trim();

        if (userName) {

            userGR.addQuery('user_name', userName);

            userGR.query();

            if (userGR.next()) {

                sysIds.push(userGR.sys_id.toString());

            }

        }

    }

    return sysIds.join(',');

})(inputs.user_string);

But that is not working as expected.

does it work at all or just partly?

@Hristo Ivanov thank you for the approach I had used flow var for the same.

Now there is one thing after getting the comma seperated users name / emails I want to add those names in case table watch list , but as the type is watch list how can I make sure to add single single participants in watchlist.

Using the flow while doing fields mapping .
