I’m trying to set a default value to a dynamic field where dict is true. This would be the example FieldSchema:
key: “attributes”,
dict: true,
default: {“Points”: “42”}
However, the default value type is string so the default gets set incorrectly where the keys become string indices and the values are the values at a given stringified JSON index.
Is it possible to set a default key-values to a dict field?
Hey
dynamic and dict are mutually exclusive - so you wouldn’t be able to use both those properties: https://github.com/zapier/zapier-platform/blob/main/packages/schema/docs/build/schema.md#fieldschema
Regardless, since the default property expects a string, I wouldn’t expect you to be able to set a default key-value pair by inserting the object like that 🤔
I’m not sure if it helps, but I found this similar question where the suggestion was to set default to the output of a function that makes an API call and returns the topmost item for example. If you give that a try and have success, let the Community know!
