Better Descriptions of Parsed JSON

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I thought there was a place on this forum to suggest new product features. I must be missing it if it still exists. If someone can direct me to it, I will repost this correctly. 

 

I am working with a relatively complex JSON object that reuses a lot of the same field names over and over in different parts of the JSON object. If I run the JSON object through a Parse JSON step, it makes the fields more accesible by breaking the JSON structure into a list of fields that show up in the dynamic pick list. If I have a JSON structure where many fields are named "VERSION", based on the way they are shown in the dynamic pick list, fields with duplicate names are indistiguishable from each other. (See image attached). 

 

Instead of seeing a list of fields called "VERSION" it be helpful to see dotted notation to make it easier to see which field I really want when crafting the automation. 

 

Thanks
