How to search whole jSON output from postman and get only string values from newFields array and save in variable based on fieldName only

fieldName": "TX.Sessionval.cost

Have to update Test case everytime since array index changes for newField with new build, next time the fieldid index would be /118 or /129 /234 .. so on

What does not change is fieldName: it remains same

[
  {
   "Fieldid": "Fieldid/112",
    "fieldName": "TX.Sessionval.cost",
    "stringval": "jklah-dw-4c8d-8320-das313s3ASsda|000725N8WuUrfwAS7alP|banker_name"
  }
]

My current postman test is limited to field id only and saving it to variable.

postman.setEnvironmentVariable("Stdid", jsonData.newFields[112].stringValue)

pm.environment.set("stdid",jsonData.newFields.filter((a)=>a.fieldName==="TX.Sessionval.cost")[0].stringval)

    the filter returns an array , as the "fieldName": "TX.Sessionval.cost", is unique it will return an array of 1 element , we are getting taht element back as [0] – PDHide Feb 22 '21 at 18:27
  • it works for filtering thanks, how to save that string value only into variable – GPs Feb 22 '21 at 18:33
  • pm.environment.set("stdid" saves it to variable you can use the code as it is , this is the new way to store envirnment variables – PDHide Feb 22 '21 at 18:35
  • when print "stdid" it shows ` "Fieldid": "Fieldid/112", "fieldName": "TX.Sessionval.cost", "stringval": "jklah-dw-4c8d-8320-das313s3ASsda|000725N8WuUrfwAS7alP|banker_name" ` Looking to save the stringval only – GPs Feb 22 '21 at 18:38
