My question:
I want to convert javascript code so that it works in Postman

Details (like screenshots):

How I found the problem:

I’ve already tried:
var responseData = pm.response.json();

// Define a function to limit string lengths within objects
function limitStringLength(obj) {
// Iterate through each object in the array
for (var i = 0; i < obj.length; i++) {
var item = obj[i]; // Get the current object in the array

    // Iterate through each key (property) in the object
    for (var key in item) {
        // Check if the value associated with the key is a string and its length is greater than 4000
        if (typeof item[key] === 'string' && item[key].length > 4000) {
            // If the condition is met, limit the string length to 4000 characters
            item[key] = item[key].substring(0, 4000);
        }
    }
}
return obj; // Return the modified array of objects

}

// Apply the limitStringLength function to the “result” array within responseData
responseData.result = limitStringLength(responseData.result);

// Update the response data with the modified “result” array
pm.response.json(responseData);

You can’t update the response through the pm.response function. It’s static.

What you can do, is parse the response into a variable and then update that variable.

You’ve already parsed the response to “responseData”, so you should just be able to loop though that. You don’t really need the function.

Have a look at the following topic which has an example of looping through and updating the response info. You can include your working IF statement into the mix,
