When generating Set Field Scripts Steps, would you consider adding an optional variable to JSONGetElement( $json ; "[" & $index & "]description" ) to enable the creation of a loop to easily parse JSON data with multiple records?

Hi :-)

You can already make a looping generator that will do that. See the video. So using that combined with the set field generator you already have all you need.

Hi Todd,

Thanks for the reply - I've just found the video here on github that should be the one your refer to :-)

Fred

And I've done a dumb thing of unintentionally creating a fork :-( apologies.

It's right on the read me.

I've tried working through the example from the video, and keep getting a popover that say's 'We couldn't find any FileMaker Objext XML'

I'm using Windows 7Pro and I am guessing that windows isn't supported at the moment?

If that is the case, is there a fundamental reason for that, or one of time/pressure constraints ? :-)

Cheers

Windows should work, but frankly, we don't use it, so it doesn't get tested as much. Not sure why you are getting that error. But if you log it as a new issue, that would help.

Thanks Todd
