I am trying to set the vlan response as my collection variable, but i am getting ’ cannot read properties of undefined (reading ‘0’). no matter whether i put the 0 in there or not i get some king of undefined error. i am a newbie at this stuff so any help will be appreciated.

const reponse = pm.response.json();
console.log(reponse.vlan[0]);

pm.collectionVariables.set("customId" , response.vlan[0]);

Your response is an array, so it should be

response[0].vlan

Hey @brabon :wave:

Welcome to the Postman Community :postman:

Have you tried:

console.log(response[0].vlan);

Just noticed the potential spelling mistake.

const reponse = pm.response.json();
pm.collectionVariables.set("customId" , response.vlan[0]);

The parsed response variable is called “reponse” not “response”.

The response is still an array, so you will need reponse[0] or response[0] before you can target the vlan element within that object.

Thank you all for your help. Once i properly spelled response the following did the job.

const response = pm.response.json();
console.log(response[0].vlan);

pm.collectionVariables.set(“customId” , response[0].vlan);

However, now I’m trying to set the subscriber-id value from this same response and I’ve tried it by itself, with “” and with [“”] and cannot get it to work. I get unexpected string or unexpected token.

This is what I have.

const response = pm.response.json();
console.log(response[0].subscriber-id);

pm.collectionVariables.set(“customId” , response[0].subscriber-id);

That would be the same as this:

Thank you! That got it!
