Convert Variable to Raw Text

Questions
1

Hi Folks

I am trying to map the content of a text field from DevOps into a Monday Field - the problem i have when using the module for Update Column in Monday.com is the the text often contains quotes and other such characters that are not accepted in passing the JSON Any Value field within the Module. I pass - Column ID, which is “name” and then Any Value (this is the tip - Accepts JSON format, e.g. {“checked” : “true”}. To pass a string, you need to surround it by quotes, e.g. “2023-03-03”. See Column Types Reference documentation.) which i try to pass this variable 3.system.title. In the module its input treats it like this: {{3.System.Title}} and the raw text inside that variable has quote marks which give this error:

Error trying to update certain columns in Monday item [200] Syntax error in JSON input [ Error Code: JsonParseException / Error Details: {“json”:"{ \“name\”: \“A33- New option \“Script Tail\” added to source\”} ]

the original text contains the part “Script Tail” which the user added quote marks and this throws the Json command. How do i try to convert to raw so it ignores the ““. I tried replace() command but the input still wraps the variable in curly brackets and so renders the command useless. Not sure what to try! Same thing happens when passing a description column which has all sorts of rich text in it!!

Would appreciate any help for what i thought would be a really simple thing!

Looks like the JSON you provided in your question is invalid. You need to format it in code blocks, otherwise the forum breaks the JSON.

We’d love to help, however, you have not provided sufficient information to demonstrate the problem that would allow us to reproduce the scenario and any issue/s and/or error/s.

To allow others to assist you with your scenario, please provide the following:

1. All Relevant Screenshots

We need to see what you’re working with to give you the best advice. Screenshots are extremely important because Make is a visual editor — a picture provides us with more context.

It would help us identify the issue by having screenshots of:

  • the full scenario,
  • any error messages,
  • individual module fields,
  • relevant filter settings (conditions), and
  • each module’s output bundles
  • any external services (spreadsheet headers, sample data, regex101.com, etc.)

You can upload images here using the Upload icon in the text editor:

We would appreciate it if you could upload screenshots here instead of linking to them outside of the forum. This allows us to zoom in on the image when clicked, and avoid tracking cookies from third-party websites.

3. Module Output Bundles

Please provide the output bundles of each of the relevant modules by running the scenario (you can also get this without re-running your scenario from the History tab).

Click on the white speech bubbles on the top-right of each module and select “Download input/output bundles”.

A. Upload as a Text File

Save each bundle contents in a plain text editor (without formatting) as a bundle.txt file.

You can upload the file here by clicking on this button:

B. Insert as Formatted Code Block

If you are unable to upload files on this forum, alternatively you can paste the formatted bundles.
Here are some ways to provide text content in a way that it won’t be modified by the forum.

  • Method 1: Type code fence manually —
    Add three backticks ``` in a separate line before and after the content, like this,

    ```
text goes here
```

  • Method 2: Highlight and click the “preformatted text” button in the editor —

  • Method 3: Upload your file and share the public link —
    (this method is only recommended for large files exceeding the forum upload limit)

Providing the input/output bundles will allow others to replicate what is going on in the scenario, especially if there are complex data structures (nested arrays and collections) or if external services are involved, and help you with mapping the raw property names from collections.

Sharing these details will make it easier for others to assist you.
