Referring to a custom object variable that has $ in the name

Hi!
 
I've been trying now for quite a while to figure out how to refer to the contents of the custom object (converted from a JSON).

 

My variable value looks like this:

Referring to values with names "field" and "feature" work perfectly, but the $p causes all the headache. Am I missing some quotes or something?

 

So in this case the error comes from the second line:

Thanks in advance!

    hi @tonnitommi 

    %JsonAsCustomObject['hits'][0]['$p']%

    try it
