Json Settings File

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 8

Hi,

I have a JSON environment variable in my Power Automate solution.

I am curious if the Json Settings File could have other data types apart than text values.

 

Is it possible to have something like this? A direct JSON Value for cr71c_config environment variable.

 

 

{
 "EnvironmentVariables": [
 {
 "SchemaName": "cr71c_config",
 "Value": { "Name":"myName" }
 }
 ],
 "ConnectionReferences": []
}

 

 

 

Or you must need to escape the JSON value. Something like this?

 

 

{
 "EnvironmentVariables": [
 {
 "SchemaName": "cr71c_config",
 "Value": "{ \"Name\":\"myName\" }"
 }
 ],
 "ConnectionReferences": []
}

 

 

 

This file is the one you create and use with the pac export and pac import commands.

 

Thank you in advance for your help.

    Hi @mroboyo 

     

    The first format which you have shared would work:

     

    {
     "EnvironmentVariables": [
     {
     "SchemaName": "cr71c_config",
     "Value": { "Name":"myName" }
     }
     ],
     "ConnectionReferences": []
    }
    

     

    I have tried sample environment variable in json format and it has worked perfectly.

     

    Hope it helps !

    Thanks & Regards,
