What is the merge field syntax for JSON sub nodes in OmniScripts?

• A. %node|1:object%
• B. %node|1:string%
• C. %node|1:scalar%
• D. %node|1:array%

Answer: (D)

In OmniScripts, the merge field encodes the data type of the JSON sub-node. When that sub-node is a list of items (a JSON array), you mark it as an array so OmniScript treats it as a collection rather than a single object or primitive. That’s why the correct form is %node|1:array% — it signals that the sub-node holds multiple elements you can iterate over or access by index.

Using object would imply a single JSON object, string would be a single text value, and scalar would denote a single primitive value (like a number or boolean). For a JSON sub-node that contains multiple items, the array type is the appropriate choice.
