Body.storage Processing

[Anthony Nguyen]

This question is related to this one:

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Web-Request-GET-Get-Page-into-PUT-Update-Page-is-not-working/qaq-p/2728904

Long story short, I am using a web request to Get Pages from Confluence API with &body-format=storage.

I save the following {{webResponse.body.results.body.storage.value.replace("\"","\\\"")}} as {{content}}.

I then use Update Page from Confluence API with a payload where each attribute is the same and

"body": { "representation": "storage", "value": "{{content}}" }

I get 400 invalid_message and am confused about why. Looking at others' questions, they do not have any issue just using the webresponse value and don't even have to use replace("\"","\\\""). Why can I not just use {{webResponse.body.results.body.storage.value}} as "value"?

It was again a case of unescaped characters, \ in particular. My question is still why I have to escape these instead of just being able to utilize the value.
