Hi,

What is the best way to manipulate complex JSON objects?

For example I want to update an existing, already posted adaptive card and I want to toggle the visibility of a button based on some action.. I can retrieve the adaptive card using a GetMessageDetails action, but then updating a deeply nested property of the Adaptive Card is almost impossible to do. The SetProperty function does not allow to provide a path. Instead it offers an overloaded method where you can specific the parent object, but even that I am not able to get that properly working.

Below is an oversimplification of the adaptive card I have.

How can I easily update the isEnabled property using JSON manipulation where the property is nested inside multiple arrays?

{
    "type": "AdaptiveCard",
    "body": [
        {
            "type": "TextBlock",
            "size": "Medium",
            "weight": "Bolder",
            "text": "text test stestes"
        },
        {
            "type": "ColumnSet",
            "columns": [
                {
                    "type": "Column",
                    "width": "auto"
                },
                {
                    "type": "Column",
                    "width": "stretch"
                }
            ]
        },
        {
            "type": "ActionSet",
            "actions": [
                {
                    "type": "Action.Submit",
                    "title": "Acknowledge",
					"isEnabled": true,
                    "data": {
                        "action": "acknowledge",
                        "uid": "uniqueId"
                    }
                },
                {
                    "type": "Action.Submit",
                    "title": "Resolve",
                    "isEnabled": false,
                    "data": {
                        "action": "resolve",
                        "uid": "uniqueId"
                    }
                },
                {
                    "type": "Action.Submit",
                    "title": "Close",
                    "isEnabled": false,
                    "data": {
                        "action": "close",
                        "uid": "uniqueId"
                    }
                }
            ]
        }
    ],
    "$schema": "http://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json",

pls try the following: - javascript arrays can help.

const adaptiveCard = {
"type": "AdaptiveCard",
"body": [
{
"type": "TextBlock",
"size": "Medium",
"weight": "Bolder",
"text": "text test stestes"
},
{
"type": "ColumnSet",
"columns": [
{ "type": "Column", "width": "auto" },
{ "type": "Column", "width": "stretch" }
]
},
{
"type": "ActionSet",
"actions": [
{
"type": "Action.Submit",
"title": "Acknowledge",
"isEnabled": true,
"data": { "action": "acknowledge", "uid": "uniqueId" }
},
{
"type": "Action.Submit",
"title": "Resolve",
"isEnabled": false,
"data": { "action": "resolve", "uid": "uniqueId" }
},
{
"type": "Action.Submit",
"title": "Close",
"isEnabled": false,
"data": { "action": "close", "uid": "uniqueId" }
}
]
}
],
"$schema": "http://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json",
"version": "1.6"
};

// Function to update `isEnabled` for a specific action
function updateIsEnabled(card, actionTitle, newState) {
const actionSet = card.body.find(item => item.type === "ActionSet");
if (actionSet) {
const action = actionSet.actions.find(a => a.title === actionTitle);
if (action) {
action.isEnabled = newState;
}
}
}

// Example: Toggle "Acknowledge" button to disabled
updateIsEnabled(adaptiveCard, "Acknowledge", false);

console.log(JSON.stringify(adaptiveCard, null, 2));
