Creating an array in an expression

Questions
1

I am trying to connect up to an API and in their documentation I need to create inside an http request an array like this:

    'plainPassword' => array(
        'password' => 'topSecret007',
        'confirm' => 'topSecret007',
    ),

how would i add this to a body parameter ?

So as I know js does not support associative arrays, so you could use js object:

Or you could make manipulate object to string to have this syntax

In case you have to send it as an actual array, then you would have to set an expression like this:
{{ {"plainPassword": [{"password": "topSecret007", "confirm": "topSecret007" }]} }}

Here an example workflow:

Thanks both for the advice. I have tried multiple variations however nothing is working for me yet.

From the mautic API this is what I am meant to be doing:

$data = array(
    'username' => 'apitest',
    'firstName' => 'John',
    'lastName' => 'Doe',
    'email' => '[email protected]',
    'plainPassword' => array(
        'password' => 'topSecret007',
        'confirm' => 'topSecret007',
    ),
    'role' => 1,
);

This is what i have tried to do so far

Try it like this: {{ {"password":"topSecret007", "confirm": "topSecret007" } }}

could i get a little bit more help… how would i pass a node value into this ?

{{ {"password":"{{$node["Set"].json["password"]}}", "confirm": "{{$node["Set"].json["password"]}}" } }}
when i view the result i get this

[invalid (Expression is not valid: Unexpected string)]", “confirm”: “mike1234” } }}

You would have to use:

{{ {"password": $node["Set"].json["password"], "confirm": $node["Set"].json["password"] } }}

Honestly this is the fastest forum i have ever worked on. This is the most incredible piece of technology developed changing the way less technical people can work.

Thank you so much for this amazing product and the great support!!
