Hello,

I am using DA to extract data from pdf.

I am trying to update the value of the extracted data using Document Extraction: Update document data activity .

using JSON package I am able to update the value of the JSON node however there is no option to pass updated JSON to the Document Extraction: Update document data action.

You updated your JSON with the JSON: Update node value, then immediately threw away your changes with the JSON: End session. (This is a common mistake.)

Before the End session, add a JSON: Get node value. The JSON node key or path is $$ and save the updated JSON to a string variable.

You can then use that string variable to update the information in the Document Extraction: Update document data action.
