Filtering an array of objects for a property in the objects

[BenDonahue]

I the following array, I need to access all the elements in the array where "QOrder": "1" (there will always only be one element):

[

  {

    "@odata.etag": "",

    "ItemInternalId": "4e0e6adf-b08c-47b9-83e3-24440c1eaad1",

    "Q-ID": "21",

    "QGroup": "Std1",

    "Q": "Why is question3 hard?",

    "QOrder": "9"

  },

  {

    "@odata.etag": "",

    "ItemInternalId": "f7ff0d03-c360-413e-af41-ef720c9a40a5",

    "Q-ID": "22",

    "QGroup": "Std1",

    "Q": "Is question1 present?",

    "QOrder": "1"

  },

  {

    "@odata.etag": "",

    "ItemInternalId": "4f6f2703-cee6-4f96-b8de-1df90fbfcc2b",

    "Q-ID": "23",

    "QGroup": "Std1",

    "Q": "Where is question 2?",

    "QOrder": "2"

  }

]

I tried this code in a Filter array block, but with no luck:

item()?['QOrder'] is equal to string(1) (I also tried "... is equal to int(1)")

I don't believe I am accessing the value in QOrder correctly.

Would someone please lend a hand? I would be very appreciative; thank you.

Hi @BenDonahue ,

It seems that you have used Parse JSON to parse this array, you can directly use Filter array to filter items.

So, is the output of a Filter array a JSON object? It begins and ends with square brackets, [ ] , so I'm confused why a Parse JSON should be employed and why I am unable to access the data in the array with something like

body('C-FA-QForQuestionsIndex')?[1]['QOrder']

Also, thank you for your help, @v-bacao-msft .
