How do I JSON PUSH another line of JSON to be indexed? (BLOCKER)

This is driving me insane. I've built this huge and complex program and now I need to insert some indexed values - it doesn't seem possible! The closest I've come is pushing this text in as JSON (which is how the entire database is loaded and works PERFECTLY by the way).

Pushing works but the text is escaped! How can I fix this?

Well. That ate an entire day trying to figure out but you want to use JSON.parse();

But if you're indexing, you need to first insert ANY value into the index, then you can overwrite that data with your parsed string.

The end result is I have a complex game in C3 with my own load/save function using ONLY json. A bit clunky but the freedom to create is now before me -- I'm super frustrated with a few features in C3 man... Object selection and data manipulation aren't great. 4/10.

Anyway here's the solution..

Yuck I just realized I have to build a CRUD system for this. Create, Remove, Update, Delete or whatever... Ughhhhh

First you push a value (zero for example), then change it to an object using "Set JSON" action. I also suggest storing the string in a variable, then you won't have to duplicate all quotation marks.

local variable jString = {"instance_iid":9, ...}

JSON Push back 0 to ".workstations"
JSON Set ".workstations." & (JSON.ArraySize(".workstations")-1) to jString

This was a good hint to the correct solution but... not very effective, clean, or re-useable :(

This is indeed what I had to do. Pushed "" into the array, then set that last index to JSON.

Great tip about the ""'s -- it's pretty wild JSON support is this jankey inside of C3...
