API parameter editor

[paul.brown]

I am passing json to Make (integromat) in the “message” parameter, but to edit the long json text is an awful experience. you click on the parameter and it shows all the json text then, when you try to edit the parameter, it collapses again. Surely we can have a better editor for entering long parameters. Would be grateful if others have had the experience and found a workaround.

Can you share screenshot of what you are doing?

Here are 2 screen of the parameter I am passing. Eventually I will use :formatted as text as per this article ,

Thanks for the tip! I am using something similar but with the Toolbox ListExpression. But the good news is I think there is a simpler way to do this without elements or plugins since this announcement: [New Feature] '...:format as text' operator on lists Would something like this would also work for your use case?

but initially I am just providing some test json and editing it.

Yes. Ideally a mix of parameter in body of API connector and a mix of formatted as text is better when you need to work with some list

Unfortunately the API call to make (integromat) appears to only take two parameters , type and message, so the json has to go in the parameter I’ve had no joy in trying to parametrise the body in the API call.
