HI @yuri abaev

Please use nodeset as type instead of string. More info here

<JSONPayload>
        <Variable name="details" type="nodeset">
            <JSONPath>$.details</JSONPath>
        </Variable>
    </JSONPayload>

The JSON array is stored in details variable. If you further want to manipulate, you can using Javascript policy

Hope this helps !

@Sai Saran Vaidyanathanthanks for the link,as I understand nodeset simply returns a json right?
I've extraced the var with no type attribute, and yet got a json, do i get it wrong?

Yes - you get the object when you use nodeset. I would recommend you to use the type="nodeset"
