Hi
I have a situation:

I have a Universal Json file which has a value for each jobs. So I need to grab that specific pipeline name from the json file.

Example:
{
"pipelines":[
"Sample - Long Running Job",
"pipeline4"
],
"Sample - Long Running Job":[
300
],
"pipeline4":[
60
]
}
how do i get the value of pipeline4 dynamically.

    Hi @Talib UL Aman Kundraikar ,

    In below example, I saved your json as file and using lookup activity getting that file content. And then, I am trying to save pipeline4 value in some variable. Kindly check below and follow same. Thank you.

    Step 1: Look up activity

    Step 2: Set Variable
    expression used: @string(activity('Lookup1').output.value[0].pipeline4[0])

    Please Note, Try to avoid spaces in Json Key values. Because if keys as spaces then ADF expressions language cannot interpret them.

    Hope this will help. Please let us know if any further queries. Thank you.
