JSON Update Record Error

[tomaslindev]

Hi everyone,
I created a subflow that returns a JSON but it doesn't recognize it in the main flow.

I've changed the output to string type, but it doesn't seem to work. Any ideas?

Thank you very much, and best regards.

Could be a couple of things.

Based on you screen shots fd_data.flow_variable.output_validation may not be valid. Verify the name of the flow variable.

It appears based on your output that you may not be formatting the output properly for what you are trying to do. Try formatting the output as an array of objects by enclosing it in brackets []. This may then require a change to the code in order to retrieve u_resolution_code_category.

var rcc = JSON.parse(fd_data.flow_var.output_validation);

if (rcc[0].u_resolution_code_category)
	return rcc[0].u_resolution_code_category;
else
	return '';

I could see you are grabbing flow_var which means flow variable and not subflow output

Things to check

1) did the subflow gave correct json string as output when flow executed?

2) ensure subflow has output of type string and not JSON

3) did you use correct subflow output variable name in your script?

It should be something like this

var subflowoutput = fd_data._4__testing_mrvs_subflow.myjsonstring;

Select the subflow step and then add dot and then it will show the output variable name
