Vision JSON parameter

Hi,

Is it possible to pass in a JSON structure to a template in Vision. I know this is possible in Perspective, they obviously differ in implementation but hopefully someone could provide a solution.

I know I can pass a dataset to a template which would get me most of the way, but essentially I need to somehow have a nested dataset, which I don’t think is possible.

The JSON structure I am looking to pass is essentially this:

{
  "steps": [
    {
      "stepName": "Step 1",
      "dryTime": 0,
      "robots": [
        {
          "robotName": "Robot 1",
          "robotProcess": 1
        },
        {
          "robotName": "Robot 2",
          "robotProcess": 2
        }
      ],
      "conveyors": [
        {
          "conveyorName": "Conveyor 1",
          "enabled": true
        },
        {
          "conveyorName": "Conveyor 2",
          "enabled": false
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Maybe it would be possible to pass it as a String an perform some scripting to parse the values I want, but that doesn’t seem the best way?

Any assistance is appreciated.

Edit: Additionally, I need to pass this data back to the parent view for processing. Just to add some extra context.
