[New Feature] '...:format as text' operator on lists

@gerry98 hey - do you know if there is also a way to search for an operator? For example, I’d like to convert my :join with “,” to format as text.

@gerry98 Thanks again for adding the ...:format as text operator! Super useful! :slight_smile:
Are you planning to expose the current index of each item in the list?
(Would save a lot of time compared to always having to add a database field as an order number and keeping that consistent)

E.g. I think one relevant use case would be numbering purchased items in a confirmation email like:

  • 1: Product A
  • 2: Product B
    etc.

Hello @natserrano , in my case doesnt work, could you give me a hand, thanks

  1. You have a superfluous comma after your last key-value pair.
  2. Add a comma in the Delimiter section instead of leaving it blank

That should be it.

I did the changes but still not working

Try removing all the spaces.

I have tested with Postman and is working, but in bubble doesn’t work

Postman will work fine with the spaces but in bubble try removing all the spaces. Reason being is that bubble formats the spaces in the json which will breaks the formatting.

when i send the POST call without the list of (param.)items is working fine, but when i send it with this text format is not working

You sure it doesn’t belong in the body of the request?

Try moving the item to the body and try sending a test call with with a static items list

I can’t see the bottom of the body but do you have the ending } brace in the body?

I end up using regex or consuming the response as a text
