Help with arrays / collections

[Arthur_P]

Hi,

I’m starting to get crazy on this problem, so any help would be much appreciated!

I need to filter large quantity of data in an array retrieving only one value.

I want to retrieve the value of “id” when c-pf-I2pLtL4 = 1234

So I tried with map function.
I made a test using “index” as a filter and “32” as a value for the filter and everything works well.

But my problem is that I need to filter on c-pf-I2pLtL4 which is a vlaue of a collection (named “value”) inside my “items” array.

Any idea?

Thanks for your help!

Welcome to the Make community!

You can specify it using dot notation,

e.g.:

values.c-pf-l2pLtL4

For more information, see “Mapping with arrays” in the Help Centre. You should also do the Make Academy, which also covers the use of Iterators & Aggregators.
