Pass option text not value when using cascading options

[Jeff]

Group, I have defined a 3 layer cascade of options

project - values are json pointers

node - values are json pointers

database - values are json data

when i go to use any of these options in my script command I get the value when i need the option text. Is there a way to accomplish this?

example:

projects.json

[

{"name":"project1","value":"node1.json"},

{"name":"project2","value":node2.json"}

]

node.json

[

{"name":"node1","value":"database1.json"},

{"name":"node2","value":database2.json"}

]

database.json

[

{"name":"database1","value":"DB1"},

{"name":"database2","value":DB2"}

]

when i use in command like this (D:\RunDeck_Deployments\DeploySQLScripts.ps1 -URL ${option.url} -BUILDNUMBER ${option.cm} -SQLINSTANCE ${option.node} -DATABASENAME ${option.databasename} -PROJECTNAME ${option.project})

i need the options passed to script as the names not values. tried all variations from this post
https://docs.rundeck.com/3.0.27/manual/defining-job-options.html?utm_source=rundeckproenterprise&utm_medium=3.0.27-20191204%20Linux%20java%201.8.0_171&utm_campaign=helplink&utm_content=editOpts%2Fedit#option-model-provider

thank you

Hi Jeff,

Right now you can get only the value (like this thread:https://groups.google.com/d/msg/rundeck-discuss/taqNtK2y-NE/iU_iznKhBgAJ). Maybe a good option is to design a workflow that gets the option name via script or like this example:

https://github.com/rundeck/rundeck/issues/5898#issuecomment-611817976

That gets the node name (with the "trick" of setting the name equals than value) using basename tool using an inline bash script (https://linux.die.net/man/1/basename)

Thank you reiner. I went with naming the json files so a replace('.json','') in my script as first thing gave me the desired string from the values passed by rundeck
