Formula in Set Variable interpreted a Text

Hello, I’m a beginner with Make and I’m having a problem with my formula in a Set Variable module, it’s being interpreted as Text. The formula is created with Claude and then copied and pasted. What would be the correct way to do this?

Hey @Thierry Welcome to the community!

Actually you can create a sample formula in make which works, copy that and share that with any AI model that you use to create complex formulas, and ask it to analyse and remeber in what syntax or format the formula works, which includes closing and opening curly brackets like {{ and }}. i think there is not proper name for that syntax, may be “Mustache”, not sure about that. but once you do that reference with model, you can ask chat model to return every formula in that syntax or text format which contains curly brackets, which will work in make after pasting.

I use GPT for such cases, and it now gives me working format.

I hope this helps!

Welcome to the Make community!
Since you’re just starting out, it’s a good idea to try developing formulas on your own instead of relying too much on ChatGPT or similar tools. Sometimes, the formulas they provide might not work correctly in Make — especially due to incorrect use of opening and closing curly brackets like {{ and }}.

If you’re working with a long formula, try breaking it down by adding smaller parts into a Set variable module first and testing them. Also, make sure your .index values are correct.
