How to create object type mapping for JSON import?

[Gaurav]

Hello fellow community members,

While trying to create an object type mapping for a JSON import of Assets, the UI requires a value of 'Selector'. Though not indicated, but this is a required field.

The documentation available has no mention of this field and there is no help for this field.

Does anyone have an idea what is the expected value?

Hi @Gaurav

it depends on the JSON format, for example:

{
   "book": [

      {
         "id": "01",
         "language": "Java",
         "edition": "third",
         "author": "Herbert Schildt"
      },

      {
         "id": "07",
         "language": "C++",
         "edition": "second",
         "author": "E.Balagurusamy"
      }

   ]
}

The selector for this JSON should be: book

I hope this helps. :)
