Add a new field to a JSON

Add a new field to a JSON. This Wrk Action will allow you to take an existing JSON object and add a new field to it. By default this field will be added as a string to the top level of the object.

To specify a different location to add the field you can use jsonpath to specify the object you would like to add it to instead.

To add a value as a integer, boolean, object, or array you can select "Add field value without quotes?".

Application
