Flow Designer Complex Object Output is not showing in JSON Format - Support and Troubleshooting

Flow Designer Complex Object Output is not showing in JSON Format Issue When using a Complex Object in Flow Designer you are expecting the Output to show in the JSON Format .

However, when checking the Runtime Values in the Flow Context you are instead seeing a different Object Format which looks similar to the following:

{"index":-1,"co_collection":"{\"version\":\"1.0\",\"complexObject\":{\"field$\":\"fieldValue\",\"$COCollectionField\":[{\"field\":{\"$cv\":{\"$c\":\"java.lang.String\",\"$v\":\"fieldValue\"}},\"field\":{\"$cv\":{\"$c\":\"java.lang.String\",\"$v\":\"fieldValue\"}},\"field\":{\"$cv\":{\"$c\":\"java.lang.String\",\"$v\":\"fieldValue\"}},\"field\":{\"$cv\":{\"$c\":\"java.lang.String\",\"$v\":\"\"}},\"field\":{\"$cv\":{\"$c\":\"java.lang.String\",\"$v\":\"fieldValue\"}},\"field\":{\"$cv\":{\"$c\":\"java.lang.String\",\"$v... Cause This is actually happening due to the Expected Behaviour of the Flow Designer Runtime Values .

The Data being returned from the Flow Execution is truncated . This is why we are not seeing the Full Value of the executed data in the JSON Format .

However, this is just a Visual Issue , as the data is stored correctly in the Context Record .

Resolution The Runtime Inputs and Outputs are Visually Truncated based on the "com.snc.process_flow.reporting.serialized.val_size_limit" System Property.

You can see our Flow Designer System Properties Documentation Here for more information on this.

If desired you can Temporarily Increase this System Property Value so that you can see the Full Runtime Data.

IMPORTANT: We highly recommend that you do not permanently change this System Property Value since the change will persist across all Flow Input and Output Data .
