We are trying to set up an connection to our external api. The api endpoint has a parameter that needs to be a array of objects.
i.e. -
 

"OperationCodes":  
    {
      "Opcode": "sample string 1",
      "Desc": "sample string 2",
      "LongDesc": "sample string 3",
      "TechDesc": "sample string 4",
      "CategoryCode": "sample string 5",
      "EstimatedParts": 1.0,
      "EstimatedLabor": 1.0,
      "EstimatedLaborHours": 1.0,
      "EstimatedFreight": 1.0,
      "EstimatedEquipment": 1.0,
      "EstimatedSublet": 1.0,
      "EstimatedMileage": 1.0,
      "EstimatedMiscSupply": 1.0,
      "EstimatedBillCodes": 1.0,
      "Approved": true,
      "FlatRateAmount": 1.0,
      "FlatRatePerFootRate": 1.0,
      "FlatRatePerFootMethod": "sample string 6",
      "LaborFinished": true,
      "StandardHours": 1.0,
      "EstCompDate": "sample string 8",
      "EstStartDate": "sample string 9",
      "CustPromiseDate": "sample string 10",
      "ForecastedPartsCharges": 1.0,
      "ForecastedLaborCharges": 1.0,
      "ForecastedLaborHours": 1.0
    },
    {
      "Opcode": "sample string 1",
      "Desc": "sample string 2",
      "LongDesc": "sample string 3",
      "TechDesc": "sample string 4",
      "CategoryCode": "sample string 5",
      "EstimatedParts": 1.0,
      "EstimatedLabor": 1.0,
      "EstimatedLaborHours": 1.0,
      "EstimatedFreight": 1.0,
      "EstimatedEquipment": 1.0,
      "EstimatedSublet": 1.0,
      "EstimatedMileage": 1.0,
      "EstimatedMiscSupply": 1.0,
      "EstimatedBillCodes": 1.0,
      "Approved": true,
      "FlatRateAmount": 1.0,
      "FlatRatePerFootRate": 1.0,
      "FlatRatePerFootMethod": "sample string 6",
      "LaborFinished": true,
      "StandardHours": 1.0,
      "EstCompDate": "sample string 8",
      "EstStartDate": "sample string 9",
      "CustPromiseDate": "sample string 10",
      "ForecastedPartsCharges": 1.0,
      "ForecastedLaborCharges": 1.0,
      "ForecastedLaborHours": 1.0
    }
  ]

What would be the best way to set this up? Is there a better field to use other than dictionary?

For all that come to this we were able to solve this by not using a dictionary but instead a text field. We have a comma separated list of strings (used as operation code ids).

In the “code view” we manipulated the inputData field and formatted the comma separated string as a list of objects.
