Describe the problem/error/question

upd. Other functions like .split() also results in string, not in other type (array here)

JSON.parse not working for Set nodes in Manual mode.

It’s fine for JSON Output

Please share your workflow

hi @artildo

Change type:String to type:Object in the Set node to return Object instead of string

[artildo]

@barn4k Oh, I see. In the previous version of Set, it was went fine with the String type.

Now, using the Object type, I even don’t need the JSON.parse() part.
