Set Named JSON

This action marks the found JSON as a named JSON, so that it can be used as a reference when finding other parts of a JSON value in subsequent steps.

This is useful if several steps should work relative to this.

Properties

The Set Named JSON action can be configured using the following properties:

Name

Has two options, Auto or Named.Auto gives the item a name which is number. The first Auto-numbered item will have number 1, the next number 2 etc. Note that the number may change if additional Auto-numbered items are inserted before this step (on the same page).Named gives the item a fixed and explicitly stated name, which has several advantages:

  • It is easier to remember what the named item identifies if it has a well-chosen name
  • An explicitly named item is not affected if another named item is inserted before it
  • If you use the same name again in Set Named JSON, the name will simply be made to refer to the new item (useful for stateful in-page looping)
Keep Existing Named Items

If checked, the existing named items will be kept, otherwise these will be unmarked as named items and only the found item will be a named item after this step.
