Hi,

I received a JSON file with the following and it generates the error List content must be a "object"."

"palletDimensions": [
40,
48,
60
],


The data above is not needed in my output file, does anybody know a way to remove or bypass this to continue processing the file.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks,

David

Interesting. That looks like valid JSON. Where is Bots erroring? You sure your grammar is configured correctly? Either way, you could remove it using a route script, probably postincommunication. https://bots.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configuration/route/route-scripting.html

Hi Tom,

 The grammar works when I remove e.g. "palletDimensions": [], and I have been unable to create a route-script that could remove/replace all the variations of the below.
40,
48,
60


Thanks anyway,

David

Here's another post about this. Appears Bots doesn't support JSON arrays - https://groups.google.com/g/botsmail/c/bgSQFWVyDIU/m/ArFfd5AYBAAJ
