JSON Parse Output issue

Question

HI Team,

I've experienced this a few times now and thoguht I'd bring it to your attention.

Using version Version: 2024.2.1.14

The JSON Parse tool doesn't seem to adhere to it's configuration.

I've always used the 'Output values into a single string field' But lately when adding new JSON Parse tools to workflows the JSON Parse tool will skip that configuration and output the values to data type specific fields anyways.

If I run an iterative macro (once while in the macro workflow) it'll work with a JSON Parse tool configured like the attached pictures. But when I run the iterative macro to loop through pagination... all the number fields are blanked on the output of the macro.

If I edit the XML and force the JSON Parse tool in the iterative macro to to read  <SingleField value="True" />  then the iterative macro works.

If you're open to doing it @FkeetGuy then your case can be tied to any logged defect. I'll also share this post with someone in Support in case this hasn't already been logged by anyone.

Hi Cailin,

No I hadn't, I've found a work around for it, so I posted in case others were running into the issue.

hi @FkeetGuy I wanted to see if you had also submitted this to Customer Support through my.alteryx.com? that is the best way to report bugs and get confirmation of expected behavior and/or get notified of any fixes or workarounds that might be available. I didn't come across a Knowledge Base article about this but it would be good to have it reported for further investigation by Support.
