Insomnia: [Feature Request] Allow multiple results for JSONPath in JSON bodies

[whichken]

• Insomnia Version: 5.16.2
• Operating System: macOS

Details

I make heavy use of chaining requests with template tags which is very powerful. However, I find it rather restrictive when working with JSON bodies in a POST request.

Use case

I query a REST endpoint which returns an array of elements. In the response preview, I can use a JSONPath such as $.data[*].id to drill down to an array of id strings.

I would like to chain this to another POST request and provide this array as the JSON body. However, when I try to do so, the request fails to render with the following error: Returned more than one result: $.data[*].id

It would be great if JSON arrays could be rendered within JSON bodies.

I'd like to see this feature too.
Use case:
Method1 returns an array of objects, each have a "type" and an "id" attribute.
Method2 accepts an array of ids.
I want to use a JSONPath filter on "type" to pass a subset of the ids from Method1's response to Method2.

e.g.
Source data: {"nodes":[{"type" : "T1", "id": 27}, {"type" : "T2", "id": 28}, {"type" : "T1", "id": 29}]}
the following filter
$.nodes[?(@.type=="T1")].id
should return an array of ids
[27, 29]

Please re-open this issue.
Thanks,
Andrew

Hey all, I would like to see this feature as well. Here's my use case.
I have an api whose request body needs a list of id's from an endpoint previously requested.

This is the request body structure.

{
    "items": ["93bef29c-e0c4-4428-bc96-6877b1430ba3"]
}

I get the list of item ids from an /items endpoint.

Can this be reopened? This would be a great feature to have.

I would like this feature as well. The preview JSONPath seemed to show that I would get multiple values, but then I got the Returned more than one result error :cry: when using with Chaining
