Summary

When dealing with a field with an unknown JSON schema in low-code connections, you can treat it as a string and handle the parsing at the destination. This allows you to output the field content as a string for later processing.


Question

I have another question on low-code connections. I have a field whose json schema is not known, how do I handle that? I would like it to just treat it as a string and output whatever is in the field as a string and I can handle the parsing of it in the destination at a later step
For example it is an object like

  "key I don't know in advance": "something",
  "another key I don't know": "something else"
}```
