Hi everyone!
I tried to search, but didn’t find the answer.

I added “Inject js” to my activitie and my js code makes array as output, but Ui changes it to string.
How I can get array?
Thank you in advance!

If possible with screenshots.

Thanks

Hi @Akobir,

According to Inject JS Script activity documentation, it is only possible to return String.

But, you can try a workaround…

Instead of returning your array, try this:

return JSON.stringfy(yourArrayVariable)

Then, you just need to Deserialize it:

If you need more details, let me know.

Kindly mark this answer as solution if it helped you.

If it possible - can you help me with this, pls?

Thank you very much!
And else one question - how I can get a value from deserialize array?
For example, I have array with 2 columns
[
“result1,
result2”
]
Can I get “result2” to messagebox?

Hello @Akobir,

You’re welcome :slight_smile:

Yes, it is totally possible.

You can use Split, considering that you have an array of String where each item is separeted by comma.
