How to handle Json value true in If condition

Help
1

Hi all,

In a project I’m working on ppl enter the mailing address and can then tick a box if their current residential address is the same as their mailing address.

In the json file that i receive this box translates to a value which will be either true or false, depending on whether they ticked that box or not.

Now I need to use that in an If Condition.
I wrote it like this: currentResidentialAddress.Item(“sameAsMailingAddress”)=true
where currentResidentialAddress is a JObject
and sameAsMailingAddress is the value in the json file.

But now I’m getting an error saying I can’t use operator = for Jtoken or Boolean…

Any suggestions?

CurrentResidentialAddress is a child element in the entire JSON it seems @JCH, so , as your jObj is also CurrentResidentialAddress ,

Try this
CurrentResidentialAddress ("CurrentResidentialAddress ").Item(“sameAsMailingAddress”)

let me know if it helps . If not, please post the entire JSON :slight_smile:

@JCH
Assuming that currentResidentialAddress is a JToken that has been properly set, you should do currentResidentialAddress.Item("sameAsMailingAddress").Value(of Boolean) as your condition, the =true part is unnecessary.

Additionally it looks like there is a typo in the json pictured, it looks like “Mailing” is spelled as “Maling” so be careful with that.

thanks @HareeshMR and sorry for the partial information :frowning:
I’m a total newby, but if I’m understanding what you are saying, I already deserialized the json which is why I was able to use currentResidentialAddress.Item(“sameAsMailingAddress”) successfully. I think… :thinking:

Thank you @DanielMitchell that worked. I guess I don’t need the =true because that statement there would already be the =true condition right?

And thanks as well for catching that spelling mistake! I’ll get that corrected and will also double check everything else now!

Correct.

the possible options for that statement are:
true=true → true
false=true → false

As you can see either way the result is the same as the left value.

Hi @DanielMitchell, I have a follow up question on this project.

I have to enter the details from the json file into a website. I have to provide 5 years of residential history.

Every time I have a new address, I need to click NEW. That will then open up a new list of fields to fill in. I would then populate the address details from data in the next object. Hopefully I got the terminology right there…

So my steps would be:

  1. For each address in previousResidentialAddress, click new.
  2. Type street
  3. Type city
    etc, etc
  4. click save

How should I put that in the for each activity? street would be the item right, so I can’t do for each item. Not sure how to get started on that…

I really appreciate your help!

^ You said it yourself. Use a For Each with the collection being your group of previous addresses. Then each loop item is a complete address and you can enter its info. If you want to share your complete json I could mock something up real quick to simulate the logic.

Thanks @DanielMitchell. here is the json.
STA_JSON_SAMPLE.json (2.6 KB)
I realize I need to do a for each activity, but just not sure what the ForEach field should have. Would it still be item?

Should I be asking this a new a post btw?

@JCH
A new post probably wouldn’t hurt. I’ll check out your json now.
