I’m trying to get a specific variable from an array so I used the get() and map() functions, but for some reason it’s not working for me at all, the variable keeps showing up empty. I am attaching screenshots, PLEASE help!
First, here is the results of the Get an Item module:
As you can see, the “text” label all the way at the bottom (under link_to_suppliers) says PALAD.
Here are the results for my List Group’s Items module:
As you can see, there are multiple bundles, with Bundle 3 clearly having a “text3” label that equals PALAD (under Mappable Column Values)
I then collected the 3 bundles into an array using an aggregator, here are the results:
As you can see, index 3 of the array has a value of PALAD in it’s sub-collection.
Here is how I used the function, since I want to get only the “id” of the index which has a “text” label of “PALAD”:
And finally, here are the results in the Set Variable module:
Why is the Output not giving me the requested id?? I’ve been racking my brain for hours!!
Welcome to this community. The work you’ve done so far seems pretty good! The only thing you’re missing is that your text element is located in the object mappable_column_values. To make your function work, you should change the third parameter to use the nested notation and the fourth parameter to the value you want to use to filter on. I have reconstructed your case where I am able to get the result of the object where the text is equal to “SECOND.” This is my example:
This is the result when using the function: {{get(map(3.array; "id"; "mappable_column_values.text"; "SECOND"); 1)}}
Actually, your solution helped alot! I realized I wasn’t referencing the column (I was putting text3 instead of mappable_column_values.text3. And now it worked!!
But there’s a new problem (of course):
In my scenario, after the variables there is a router, that takes the first route if the variables exists, and the second route if they don’t. If the variables exist, I need to create a subitem under Item A (one of the variables is the ID of this Item A), and link it to 2 things (using already created Connect Board columns in the Monday subitem Board) - the parent item, and a different board.
To do that, I am using the name of Item A (that is the second variable I set earlier, and I checked, it sets properly) to link to the parent item, and the name of the subitem (which is the same name as the the name of the item in another board, which I have as a variable already) to connect to the other Monday board. Here below are screenshots:
Here ^ is the results of the Get an Item module, which I will reference later (I will need it’s name).
Here ^ are the results of the Set Multiple Variables module, from which I will need both.
Here ^ are the results of Create a Subitem module, where I create a subitem under an item (the ID of this parent item is in the variable resultID.
Here ^ is my initialization of the Update Columns Values module, where I am trying to update 2 columns of the subitem I just created. I need to add this extra module since the columns I want to update are Connect Board columns.
