I'm 90% of the way through building a proof of concept that will hopefully allow us to drop one of our third party dependencies and automate a lot of my repetitive daily tasks but I'm running into a small issue with the download tool.
In my workflow I'm downloading data from an API using the download tool. If I drop the body of my POST request into the "Use Following for Query String/Body" option in the payload section it works perfectly but if I drop that body into a text field to be read using the "Take Query String/Body from Field" option it kicks it back to me saying it's an invalid syntax. Unfortunately, for the task I need it to complete I need to dynamically change a part of the body so just leaving the body in pasted in the "Use Following for Query String/Body" won't work for me.
I'm pretty sure the body is being read by the download tool as truncated to 256 characters. So far I have tried messing with the data type and size. Even with V_WString and 1000000000 size it still gives me the same issue.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
I am on Version 2021.2.1.35394 if that makes any difference.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Nevermind. The problem had to do with the fact that I was using the Replace function in a formula tool. It was locking the size of my field to the input size despite the fact that I was adding in another 50 or so characters. Works perfectly now.
