Re-use the String value of a variable from the Process History tab of a Process instances

Hi,

When I debug a process instance, I can see the value changed of my var in the Process history tab of a Process instances.

Example :

[unit_id=976, info_data= [quantity=50, fk_line_id=, data=[test1=2, test3=3],[test1=4, test3=6]]]

Does Appian provide a native way to convert this string to a String expression ?  (replacing "[" by "{",  "=" by ":"  etc ...)

A little java program would make the stuff... but I'm just curious about a way inside Appian (maybe using some json functions).

Regards

Hi Cedric,

Appian shows the process values only in raw mode. As far as I know, there is no native way to convert this. Maybe we can create an expression rule in Appian to do this.

What do you want to achieve?

Nothing particular, I was just curious.

Last day, I needed to reuse a string value for debugging, so I've just converted it, to use it in an expression.
