### 🎯 What is your goal?

To post ID numbers from airtable to acf relationship fields in wp.

### 🤔 What is the problem?

I have an airtable field that holds IDs - most of the time one, sometimes several - all comma delimited ie: 7848, 1850. If there’s one, it posts to wp correctly. if there are two wp only sees the first. If I type them manually [7848,1850] wp updates fine.

### 🧪 What have you tried so far?

I’ve tried using modules to create jsons, i’ve tried parsing the airtable field output. I’ve tried switching to http to create stricter jsons. but I cannot find a way to convert what seems like a very simple collection

{  
“name”: “video\_to\_racer”,  
“value”: “7848, 1850”  
}  
into something that will work as simply as my manually entering [7848,1850]

Welcome to the Make community!

We’d love to help, however, we require more information that demonstrates the problem to help us reproduce the scenario and any issues and errors.

To allow others to assist you, 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 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** , and the zoomed in parts of the scenario that you are referring to (if your scenario is huge),
- a **full scenario run/execution** from the history (showing output “speech” bubbles),
- relevant **module fields** (_showing how you’ve used any built-in functions, and how you’ve mapped the variables_),
- relevant filters between modules (_showing which operators and any built-in functions you’ve used, and how you’ve mapped the variables_),
- relevant module input/output bubbles,
- if applicable, any error messages,
- and if applicable, any external services (_spreadsheet headers/ sample data/ regex101.com/ etc. to show the item/ record exists, and is set up correctly_).

> > We would appreciate it if you could directly upload screenshots here instead of linking to them outside of this forum. This allows us to zoom in on the image when clicked, and also having improved privacy from third-party sources.

> > ## Taking Screenshots
> > 
> > - **Microsoft Windows:** Take screenshots using the “[Windows Snipping Tool](https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/windows/use-snipping-tool-to-capture-screenshots-00246869-1843-655f-f220-97299b865f6b)”, by pressing either PrtSc _or_ WinShiftS keys on your keyboard.
> > - **MacOS:** Take screenshots by pressing CommandShift4 keys on your keyboard.

> > ## Uploading Attachments

## 2. Scenario Blueprint

Providing your scenario will allow others to quickly recreate and see how you have set up the mappings in each module, and also allows us take screenshots or provide module exports of any solutions we have for you in return. This would benefit you in implementing our suggestions as you can view screenshots of the changes or paste corrected modules back into your scenario.

## 3. _Properly-formatted_ Output Bundles from a Scenario Run

Please provide the **input/output bundles** of each of the relevant modules by running the scenario, or get the bundles from a previous run from the Scenario [“History” tab](https://www.make.com/en/help/scenarios/scenario-execution-history).

Providing the bundles from a scenario run will allow others to replicate what is going on, especially if there are complex data structures (nested arrays and collections) and external services. This helps mapping the correct raw variable names from collections (instead of the label/display name).

> >

Sharing these details will make it easier for others to assist you, so that you can get better answers, faster.
