Hi @jayaveljays  
Welcome to the community!

Please refer to [this](https://learning.postman.com/docs/writing-scripts/script-references/test-examples/#parsing-response-body-data) for parsing response response body and getting a value.

In your case you can simply write a for loop through the array of json objects inside the array and if freitext contains Submission, then find the value of processInstanceId and save it to postman environment variables (for example).

```
var response = pm.response.json();
for (var i=0; i < response.length; i++) {
 if(response[i].freitext.includes("Submission")) {
       pm.envinronment.set("ID", response[i].processInstanceId);
       break;
   }
}
```
