Concatenate strings and variables

[abg]

Dear Developers,

Please point to documentation as to how a string which contains " signs can be concatenated with a variable in your Macrodroid software.

I am trying to pass json values via http request, and wish to pass some values stored in a variable as part of the JSON request, but the valiable ({some_var}) is being passed as a string "{some_var}".

Case:
JSON
{
"field": "{some_var}"
}

Output on the http request:
field = {some_var}

Expected result:
field = 1234

Any pointers would be highly appreciated

Thanks
ABG

It must be {lv=some_var}, not {some_var}.

Thanks for your suggestion, something changed but not sure what, my error code from the server changed from success 200 to 400 that is invalid format, is there a way to have debug logs and see what output is being passed onto http?

I tried both lv and gv, same error. I am using call_number variable

If it's a global variable use {v= instead of {lv=
Also if you click on the 3 dots next to the field you can see magic texts and select your variable there.

Tested still there is some error, is there a way to see the output?

The string now looks like this:-
{
"name": "{v=call_number}"
}

is there a way to see the output of this, this is breaking json.

UPDATE:-

I checked on the server side using tcpdump

The data is being passed as it is and nothing is being updated in the variable

From server logs:
{
"name": "{v=call_number}"
}

 

[abg]

it is now working, without the use of lv or v or gv. Nothing is supposed to be used.

Working code
{
"name": "{call_number}"
}

Oh yeah only variables you define yourself have lv= or v=
You can check the system log to see the output
