Converting an object with key/values to a list

The following example automation shows you how to convert an object with key/values to a list (array):

In the automation, we loop over the properties of the object. Inside the loop, we use a temporary variable of type object, called newObj. We set 2 keys in this object: property_name and property_value.

Property_name will be equal to the key of the item in the loop using { $.loop.index }:

Property_value will be equal to the value of the item in the loop using { $.loop.item }:

Finally, we add the temporary object newObj to a variable of type list:

The result is that we have converted someObj to myList.

Original someObj object:

{
  "key1": "val1",
  "key2": "val2"
}

Final myList array:

[
  {
    "property_name": "key1",
    "property_value": "val1"
  },
  {
    "property_name": "key2",
    "property_value": "val2"
  }
]
