Target nested changing values

Questions
1

GM all,

I have this weird thing that I don’t seem to be able to target a value within the input data. Let me explain:

the json file would be something like:

{
key1: value1,
key2: [userID:[key4:value4, key5:value5], key6:value6]
}
(its not valid json, I know, just to illustrate :wink: )

so, userID (key3 basically) keeps changing name. I need to target key/value pair 4.
my thought was that I could just target it with: {{$json[“key2”][0][“key4”]}}
But this doesn’t work - what am I doing wrong?
Thanks!

Hi @bees8
You are pretty close, but need to grab the values of the first part
Object.values($json[“key2”][0])[0]
and then grab the first key4 (if this was an object and not an array)

Its quite hard to give you an example without a good example of the data :wink:
