Hi,

I am trying to fetch a few options for a custom field from a C# endpoint.

I know that the response expected is an array of key-value pairs which should have tile & value.


The problem is that it seems that monday can not parse the return string as 1) it is include in quotes as it comes from a C# end point and 2) it contains escaped characters in order to includes quotes.


I don’t get any error in my recipe but the list is always empty.


I have tried with various combinations for escapes characters but I haven’t found a working solution .


Just as an example this is one the return string the endpoint returns in one of my tries.


“"p{\\"title\\":\\"to_upper_case\\",\\"value\\":\\"TO_UPPER_CASE\\"},{\\"title\\":\\"to_lower_case\\",\\"value\\":\\"TO_LOWER_CASE\\"}]"”


Any help will be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @janadel!


How are you trying to fetch these options?

I am giving a remote options url to my custom field which corresponds to a c# endpoint.

hi @janadel



Monday is not returning a string, the endpoint should return the array in the form (as an example (NodeJS):


var returnArray = [{ title: "Option 1", value: "opt_1" }];

Hi,

It is a typo, I meant to write the returning string.

My code is

string options = @“{”“title”“:”“to_upper_case”“,”“value”“:”“TO_UPPER_CASE”“},{”“title”“:”“to_lower_case”“,”“value”“:”“TO_LOWER_CASE”“}]”;

return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK, options)

I have also tried with with the escaped quote \\" instead of ".


Thanks

Not much experience with C#

Why are you returning a string? You should return an array.

Thanks for your suggestion. It perfectly worked.

We prefer to return strings instead of the objects believing that we have better control but we don’t.

This is why I love our community! Glad y’all found a solution together.
