[LR] getFromJson without array wrapper

[ittaLaRedoute]

Hello,

We would like to get elements with getFromJson without the array wrapper []
Example:
{ "firstName": "John", "lastName": "doe", "age": 26, "address": { "streetAddress": "naist street", "city": "Nara", "postalCode": "630-0192" }, "phoneNumbers": [ { "type": "iPhone", "number": "0123-4567-8888" }, { "type": "home", "number": "0123-4567-8910" } ] }

With this Json path: $.phoneNumbers[0].number

What we currently get:
["0123-4567-8888"]

What we want to get:

"0123-4567-8888"

What we normally do is use a getFromGroovy property to remove the square brackets and get exacly the value we want.

This is blocking for us because we have several values that we want to retreive from different services responses and use in the request of a different service.

For instance, for the test that I'm working on, I need to retrieve more than 24 values.

Is it possible to add this modification to the getFromJson property?

Thank you in advance.

Seems very relevant to me.
The only big warning is that such a change will need test refactoring when deployed.
We will probably need to manage that change of behaviour with a new parameter that will allow users to desactivate it until the refactoring effort is done.
