    Hi @faceoff 

     

    If you got only one value value in an array then use the below.

    The expression I used above is 

     

    outputs('Compose_2')[0]?['filename']

     

     

    If you have more than one value in array then use the below.

    Above Parse JSON Schema is as follows:

     

    {
        "type": "array",
        "items": {
            "type": "object",
            "properties": {
                "id": {
                    "type": "string"
                },
                "isPrimary": {
                    "type": "boolean"
                },
                "fileName": {
                    "type": "string"
                }
            },
            "required": [
                "id",
                "isPrimary",
                "fileName"
            ]
        }
    }
     
    Thanks
