Use expression editor with field id (Tape)

you would need to use a collection, then on each item you can add an expression on show property and decide if it should be shown or not, or use some other property depending on what your goal is, I assume your goal is to only show certain items from the list

essentially collection gets Resource.data.records

your collection item then has each record and you can check
Item.fields[12356] !== null or something

Thanks Oleg. What you suggested is not exactly what I'm looking for, but I can definitely use it for other things.

I am trying to get the data using the field id instead of the array index.

With jsonata (on Tape script editor), I can get the value from the payload with this:

jsonata("data.records[0].fields[0].values[0].value").evaluate(parsedpayload);

However, I can also get the same value using this:

jsonata("data.records[0].fields[field_id = 581855].values[0].value").evaluate(parsedpayload);

Filtering by field_id allows me more "developer" control than filtering by the array index. I tried doing it in Webstudio like this: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1354207763613614394/1354207764292829377/Expression_Editor_2.jpg?ex=67e473c2&is=67e32242&hm=4933a06e158a64f639ded9bef8aee3fbbd1031c181c9089732c93703ad479002&=&format=webp, but it gave me an error: "Assignment is supported only inside actions"

Is what I'm trying to do possible in Webstudio?

Thanks!

.fields[field_id = 581855] isn't valid JS and can't be accomplished in the expression editor as the value you need to filter by is the value of some property in the object.

I think what Oleg suggested is the workaround.

Get them all, loop over each one in a collection, then bind an expression on show based on your condition Eg field_id === 581855

Though with the flexibility of the tape app, I'm wondering why you can't request exactly what you need

I will give the collections approach a try.

With Tape App, I can request the data I need without much issue. The only problem is that if one of the field values is empty on the Tape record, it will omit it from the payload. For example, if I have:

Fields 0: "Hello World"
Fields 1: "Second line"
Fields 2: "Third Line"

Then, in Webstudio Expression Editor, I use data.records[0].fields[1].values[0].value I will get the value Second line

However, if I delete the content from Fields 1 on the Tape record, the new payload will look like this:

Fields 0: "Hello World"
Fields 1: "Third Line"

Webstudio will give me the value "Third Line" in the expression editor since Tape removed the original Fields 1 value from the payload (because it is empty). I thought I could get around that by filtering by field_id on Webstudio, but as you mentioned, it isn't valid JS.

you don't want to work with arrays like that data.records[0].fields[1]

that number 0 1 is not an id, its an index

arrays want to be iterated using collections

when you have data structure that is so deeply nested: arrays in arrays in arrays, it becomes also accordingly nested in the collections structure and less convenient to work with

are there any plans in changing this solution to a filter ui on a collection component, which let's us add custom filters like: column operator value? would be a nice feature to make it a bit more user friendly

This or AI will make it easier to use

Adding more UI where everyone starts using AI seems pointless
