(Video) How to generate children from simple text field using Jinja

Hi @Prashant Maheshwari glad to help!  I'm not sure why using {{x}} isn't working for you.  That's standard Jinja, so maybe something else is causing the issue?

Do you do all your Jinja testing in Pipelines? I like to use an online Jinja parser like this one (https://j2live.ttl255.com)  to test since it's quicker than running Pipelines after each change.  Let's try it out and test the code!

1. Put the Jinja code in the Template box:

{%- set plist = a.quick_capture.split('\n') -%}
{
  "to": "br8hpcpk7",
  "data": [
    {%- for x in plist if x|trim != '' %}
      {
        "18": { "value": "{{a.related_director}}" },
        "89": { "value": "{{a.id}}" },
        "6": { "value": "{{loop.index}} {{ x|trim }}" }
      }{{ ',' if not loop.last }}
    {%- endfor %}
  ]
}​

2. Create a sample record structure in the Data input box.  This simulates a Pipeline step A so data can be referenced as {{a.id}}:

{
    "a": {
        "quick_capture": "testing\none\n\ntwo\nthree",
        "id": 12345,
        "related_director": "bob testing"
    }
}

3. ​Click the [Render Template] button and you should get the results in Rendered Template box:


NOTE: The online parsers don't support all the filters that Pipelines provides (e.g. time) but can help with most Jinja.

Regarding {% if not loop.last %},{% endif %} vs {{ ',' if not loop.last }}, both are certainly acceptable.  I tend to prefer the second for easy statements and the first for more involved if/then/else cases, but use whatever works best for you!

Hope that's helpful!
