Short and handy Okta Workflows tips and tricks. Read the full series.

The Object-Unset function allows you to delete a key-value pair from an object. Also, check Okta Workflows Tips #65: Update a JSON Object Using the Object-Set card, which does the opposite.

Creating a JSON object using the Object-Construct function:

The JSON object looks like this:

{
  "Locations": [
    "San Francisco",
    "Chicago",
    "Seattle"
  ],
  "Name": "Jane Green",
  "Email": {
    "home": "jane@home.com",
    "work": "jane@work.com"
  },
  "Contractor": "Yes"
}

Using the Object-Unset function to remove the Contractor key:

Results in the following object:

{
  "Locations": [
    "San Francisco",
    "Chicago",
    "Seattle"
  ],
  "Name": "Jane Green",
  "Email": {
    "home": "jane@home.com",
    "work": "jane@work.com"
  }
}

You can remove a key from a nested object using a dot:

The result is:

{
  "Locations": [
    "San Francisco",
    "Chicago",
    "Seattle"
  ],
  "Name": "Jane Green",
  "Email": {
    "work": "jane@work.com"
  }
}

You can also remove an item from a list when you indicate an index:

The result is:

{
  "Locations": [
    "San Francisco",
    "Chicago"
  ],
  "Name": "Jane Green",
  "Email": {
    "work": "jane@work.com"
  }
}
