How to get JSON tag to display as object

Maker

Hi there,

I'm trying to use JSON from MQTT into ignition, using MQTT engine. I have made this test object in Node-red, that i publish to my MQTT broker.

msg.payload = 

{
        "a": 1,
        "b": 2,
        "c": 3,
        "d": {
            "ap":2
        }
    }

But in Ignition it is displayed as a string, not an object. What do I need to do to accieve this?

You can try using the dict() function.

If the datatype is changeable, Try Document data type
