Convert an object to string in PowerApps

Question

For debugging purposes I would like to display the value of different objects. Is there any way you can convert an object to a string to display all of its properties and values?

Answer 1

Now there is the JSON() function, which works like the JSON.stringify() function in JavaScript.

Set(obj, { Name: "John Doe", Age: 33 });
JSON(obj); // The stringified object.

Answer 2

Not in a generic way. If you have an object that is set to a variable, like below:

Set(obj, { Name: "John Doe", Age: 33 })

Then you can use the & operator or the Concatenate function to create a string from that object:

Concatenate(
    obj.Name,
    " - ",
    obj.Age
)

You can also see the value of the variables in the View -> Variables menu on the ribbon.

If you believe that this is a feature that should be supported, consider creating a new item in the PowerApps Ideas board.
