{"id":"763"},
{"id":"764"}
]

how can i assign variable id to the first "id" item in response

i have done it like this but it didn't work

i also tried items.id, items[0].id but that didn't work either

Answer 1

To assign a variable to an item in a list, you can use a post-response script.

In this case, something like:

var data = JSON.parse(response.body);
var myId = data.items[0].id;
variables.set("id", myId);
