Set nested object variable values

kylerussell — Wed, 04 Dec 2024 02:47:09 GMT

I've created an object variable with 2 nested string variables that you can see in the image below. When I later use an update variable step and select the "pet" variable is does not give me an option to set each of the nest variables. What's the point of building object variables if you can't access the nested properties? Any ideas how I can update these values later in my recipe?

Hi @kylerussell ,
Yes, directly updating nested variables in the Update Variable action may not be possible. However, you can structure the nested variables as a JSON object and pass them accordingly. This way, you can modify the nested fields effectively. Please refer to the attached image for better clarity. Let me know if you need further assistance!
