Hello everyone! Im working on a custom workflow action, and for that purpose I need a post action execution so I can assign the return value to an output field.
However, as you can see on the print screen, when I try to create such function, the creation returns me a blank array.
Any pointers? Thank you.
Hey, @JFigueiredo 
Welcome to our community!
Did you get this resolved? If not, can you add the request URL, request, body, and the response + any errors you receive, as code blocks, please? It’s challenging for our community to troubleshoot code from only screenshots.
Thank you! — Jaycee
PS – you didn’t do anything wrong. Screenshots are great in numerous instances. But for code help, being able to copy + paste and try to reproduce the issue, is always best 
Hi there,
I havent solved the issue just yet, but as requested Ill paste in the relevant code blocks:

As you can see I have inserted “functions” on my body request yet the answer comes back as an empty array.
