Getting data from an API File Upload Trigger.
I am sending a JSON along with a file to my workflow. When I return the body of the request, the entire JSON gets returned. When I attempt to try to return the individual components of the JSON, such as (x)Body.varname, I get a blank result. Im sure its something simple Im missing. Any advice

It sounds like you might be having trouble accessing the individual components of your JSON payload in BuildShip. Here are a few steps to ensure you're correctly accessing and returning the individual components of your JSON:
1. Check JSON Structure: Ensure that the JSON payload structure is correct and that the keys you are trying to access exist.
2. Parse JSON: If the JSON is being received as a string, you may need to parse it first using a "Parse JSON" node.
3. Accessing JSON Components: Make sure you are using the correct syntax to access the JSON components. For example, if your JSON payload looks like this:
You should be able to access
varname with Body.varname.
4. Node Configuration: Double-check the configuration of the node where you are trying to access the JSON components. Ensure that you are referencing the correct part of the payload.

@Meechie - you workflow should be working now. Imagine data key holds the json object you are trying to access in the workflow. First you just need to run it through the Parse JSON node, and then you can access the individual fields of the object.
Okay thank you. Accessing it this way as opposed to the normal REST API JSON is because of the file now being passed through?
