Hi,

In the Sharepoint list, I keep the json in the multiline of text column as in the example.

[

{"currentUserName":"Serper, Emre(Contractor)","currentTime":"6/12/2021 - 16:42","currentUserComment":"Congrats!"},{"currentUserName":"Test, Test(Contractor)","currentTime":"6/12/2021 - 16:42","currentUserComment":"Congrats!"}

]

I have this json in the CommentsJson.

I want to pass the user name and comment inside in this json file to the variables.

-I am adding the json field into compose as array.

-I'm returning in compose with apply to each. And I'm trying to add to variables.

But it gives the error in the last picture. Can you help me?

You don't need to use the array() function in your top compose action - because the item you are extracting is already an array. So you have made an array of one element which contains a string representation of inner array. Try using the same expression without wrapping it in the array() function.

@Paulie78
Great, this worked!
Thank you so much.

Can I ask one more question?
There will be more than one object in this json and they will all be returned.
If I want to get only the last object in this file, how do I go about it?
Since it will return all its objects, it will be the last in the variables, but is there a different way to do this?
