Hi

Really hoping for help her.

I have this json object of objects:

"values": {

"niCEJ": {

"datepicker-action": {

"type": "datepicker",

"selected_date": "2024-02-25"

}

},

"oxDvx": {

"datepicker-action": {

"type": "datepicker",

"selected_date": "2024-02-29"

}

}

}.
The goal is to extract the 'selected_date' from each object in a Power Automate Cloud flow.
The issue is that the five charactor object name changes every time the flow runs, so I cant seem to select it. I've attemped to convert to root object to an array, and using string manipulation to extract to 'selected_date', but without much success.

I hope someone can help.

Hi @Duck_Business,

If getting an array of all date values alone is sufficient, you can do this:

Hi @SamLed,

Thanks for your answer to this problem. I am facing a similar issue. Can you tell me how to also get the object names "niCEJ" and "oxDvx" using xpath? I need an output like this:

[ { "name": "niCEJ", "selected_date": "2024-02-25" }, { "name": "oxDvx", "selected_date": "2024-02-29" } ]
