Well you are right, it was a misjudgment on my part thinking the map would be written out as i saw it in the process variable.

Thank you all

yeah, if you pass a MAP directly into the "body" replacement, i'm not sure why you'd expect it to output as JSON - a MAP is not JSON. As Abhay suggested, you can wrap the map value in a!toJson and get a proper JSON string for output into your document.

try tojson(pv!bodyMap) for BODY parameter.

Thank you and Mike Schmitt . I mentioned I had altready tried using "Text Doc from Template" but maybe I wasn't clear, let me show you what I've tried to do:

I've configured a Test Process Model where I save the web service response as a Map and as a Text:

then try to write both in the above template:

These are the two resulting files, they are not valid json:

Am I missing something?

Thank you for your time

For the sake of confusion reduction, that is of course the "Text Doc from Template" node.

Sadly there isn't (yet?) a rule-based approach (like we have with, say, a!exportDataStoreEntityToExcel()), but the process-based node works well enough at least.

The smart service "Test from Template" can write any text to a file. Create a template.json file with the content "###json###" and write to it whatever you need.
