Hi @saidileep

You can change the property of an object using setProperty() function in the expression. In the below example, the value of "firstname" property has been updated:
Expression used inside Compose action to update the object property:
setProperty(body('Parse_JSON'),'firstname','abc')
This expression will update the value of "firstname" property to 'abc'

If this helps & solves your problem, please remember to give a 👍 and accept my solution as it will help others in the future.

@ManishSolankiThanks, it works. but when I try to access the same item after updating the value of the key using setProperty function, I'm still getting the empty string instead of the updated value. may I know how to get the updated value?
in compose 2 i used :
setProperty(body('Parse_JSON'),'firstName','User 1')

in compose 3 i used :
body('Parse_JSON')?['firstName']

Hi @saidileep

As you have updated the property value in 'Compose' action so you will get the new or updated value from the output of compose but not from the body of parse JSON action (previous action). Based on you need, you may further pass the output of 'Compose 2' action to parse JSON action and get the latest values from the output body of the latest parse JSON action.

To get the new value of 'firstname' property, pls use the below expression in 'Compose 3' action:
outputs('Compose_2')?['firstname']

If this helps & solves your problem, please remember to give a 👍 and accept my solution as it will help others in the future.
