JSON Parser step - Flow Designer

[Geoff_T]

I may be missing something obvious here, but I'm finding JSON Parser step a little convoluted.

Is there a simple way to extract a single property value without having to grab the complete root object as an output (as demoed in this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xABNbDdgXU)?

For example, in my action it seems I cannot create a single output value of type string and then drag a single property of string type from the JSON Parser step root object. The output value is always empty in this case:

It works passing the complete root object as an output, but I don't want all that data.

Thanks

Hi Geoff,

In the JSON Parser step you can delete all the fields under the root you don't want passing to the output:

Thanks for the suggestion @jwalton I'll try this and get back to you.

I eventually revisited this. Not sure what I was thinking when I posted this or what I tested on that day but my original solution worked fine. I was able to drill down to the property value (via JSON Parser step root) I needed and just pass that as an output value (string type); as I displayed in my original post.
