Hello @milosimpson ,

I was trying to convert the json from one JSON Format to another JSON Format using JOLT, But i’m not able to get the expected output. I have included the my work around below. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

My input.json

{
    "Result": {
    },
    "Content": [
        {
            "MovieDetails": [
                {
                    "Key": "TicketNumber",
                    "Value": "DF-0001"
                },
                {
                    "Key": "MovieName",
                    "Value": "Test"
                }
            ]
        },
        {
            "MovieDetails": [
                {
                    "Key": "TicketNumber",
                    "Value": "DF-0002"
                },
                {
                    "Key": "MovieName",
                    "Value": "Test2"
                }

Got null because of lower version. Changed version to 0.1.1 and works like a charm. You’re always a superhero @milosimpson
