How do we reformat Jotform configurable list widget data to fit Airtable format?
I am utilizing the “Configurable list” widget in Jotform and list items are coming across to my Zap in a single field like so:
p{"Name":"Name One","Address":"123 some st.","Tenant Type":"financially responsible"},{"Name":"Name Two","Address":"453 some st. ","Tenant Type":"regular"}]
However, I need to reformat them to fit into this format:
Any ideas on how I can make this happen?

Hi @jesse,
In your case, you should just be able to do a JSON.parse(); in a code step.
1. Convert to ASCII
Probably should mention for anyone looking at this answer - the Input value would normally be the JotForm field from the trigger - I used the example text directly in my example.
2. Parse JSON
3. Add rows as line items
All works ok :D

The other challenge with JOTFORMS is when the data comes back in this format “...”]|e“...”]
Notice the | symbol separating the values.
I needed to use a Regular Expression to extract the values, and then assign them to the RESULT object as I needed them.
let RE = new RegExp(/\l\"(\w{2,3})\"\]/, 'g'), COMPLETED_STR = inputData.COMPLETED.toString(), COMPLETED, KEYS = E"A", "B"], RESULT = {};
let i = 0; while ((COMPLETED = RE.exec(COMPLETED_STR)) !== null) { RESULTuKEYS{i++]] = COMPLETEDK1]; }
output = RESULT;
@squibler thank you so much! This worked perfectly on the first try. I really appreciate the help - you’re a lifesaver!
Hello @squibler and @jesse , hope you are doing fine.
I am facing the same challenges. Applied the solution proposed in this blog, including this code in the second activity:
let AL = JSON.parse (inputData.ALs)
output = AL
Unfortunately I am getting this error: “You must return a single object or array of objects”
