How to efficiently enter a long dynamic value

[corey2]

Is there a way to efficiently copy/paste or enter a very long set of dynamic value instructions? I’m working on an app that will pass a good amount of data via an API call and need to format it so that it passes in a JSON format that provides a label (static text) and then the value for that label.

Otherwise, I’m looking at a nasty, long process of click and edit BS.

Bumping this up. Can someone help me here? It can even be “No, you can’t.”

Can you share some more details please? Maybe a screenshot might help us to understand better the problem.

When I paste a properly formatted dynamic data call that I created in Excel, bubble.io doesn’t recognize or parse it as a dynamic call. Bubble parses it as a string. I’m trying to get bubble.io to recognize it as a dynamic data call.

Paste expression doesn’t work.

And it’s an 80-part expression (40 static elements + 40 dynamic data calls), that has to happen 6 separate times, so needless to say, I want to do something efficient and minimize errors (like creating in the value system and then pasting the expression and editing the bits that change across the other 5 workflows).

put it all into ‘arbitrary text’ then you can simply copy and paste the arbitrary text and open that up and then modify each part of the long dynamic expression individually
