I am trying to figure out how to insert empty lists into a JSON Templator as an empty bracket like this:

"materials" : [],

Currently, I can't only get it to look like this:

"materials" : [

{

"materialBridgeId" : null,

"materialTypeName" : null,

"materialName" : null,

"quantity" : null,

"tamsUnitOfMeasureId" : null,

"tamsUnitOfMeasureName" : null,

"tamsStockpileId" : null,

"tamsStockpileName" : null,

"isDerivedFromCirus" : null

}

],

Any thoughts on I can achieve the empty elements listed above?

Thanks!

Mark

    I finally figured it out with a little help from this article: https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/44294/json-writing-with-jsontemplater.html

    I ended up having to explode and expose the list items, but got the desired output.
