Parse JSON not showing all columns

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 19

Hi all. I'm building a (simple) flow to test some scenarios. Basically I'm getting data from a REST API call.

After the call, I'm getting rid of the first part of the response to properly pass it to the Parse JSON step like this:

And then I'm parsing the JSON response with a schema created from the original output. Only thing I needed to modify is that I added a "null" data type option because otherwise I got the error of a null being returned instead the data itself. This is the beginning of the schema:

 

{
"type": "array",
"items": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"Id": {
"type": ["string","null"]
},
"Name": {
"type": ["string","null"]
},
"Created": {
"type": ["string","null"]
},
"Modified": {
"type": ["string","null"]
},
"ModifiedBy": {},
"CreatedBy": {},
"PlanId": {
"type": ["string","null"]
},
"ParentTaskId": {
"type": ["string","null"]
},
"Leaf": {
"type": ["boolean","null"]
},
"WorkTypeId": {
"type": ["string","null"]
},
"WorkType": {
"type": ["string","null"]
},

 

The flow works fine and I'm getting all the values if I run it, however most of the columns are simply not there if I try to use them in a new step. For example, the next thing I need to do is filter this output by a known value for the "WorkType" column but that option is not present at all.

Obviously I'm missing something but cannot figure out what. What am I missing/doing wrong?

 

Thanks!

    Hi @ReneAlvarezM,

     

    If the dynamic content disappears, how about you using the expression to get them?

    For example:

    item()?['WorkType']

    Can you explain why this happens? I am creating a flow and had used all the fields from the parse json that were in the list for dynamic content, but today I open up the flow and all of those references fail. It appears that using item() instead of body works, but I will have to replace dozens of references. Why did this suddenly stop working?

    it is happing because you have used the "null" json schema just remove the null you will get a column in the next step this is a bug and needs to resolve by MS

    "WorkType": {
    "type": ["string","null"]
    },
