Hi All,
I'm facing an issue in Flow Designer when passing a value from a Script step into a REST step.
I am building a string using incident task fields like below:
var summary = fd_data.subflow_inputs.incident_task.description + "\n" +
fd_data.subflow_inputs.incident_task.number;
Return summary:
This value is then used in the REST step request body.
However, whenever the string contains a newline (\n), the REST step fails with the error:
"There was an error parsing JSON. Check that your request body is valid."
If I remove the newline, it works fine.
Questions:
1. How should newline characters be handled in Flow Designer when building JSON payloads?
2. Should the newline be escaped differently (e.g. \\n)?
3. Is there a recommended way to safely pass multi-line text to REST APIs from Flow Designer?
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Ravish
