Hello,

I have a databucket which looks like this:

{"details":[
  {
      "RelatedtoB": "FixedValueA",
      "RelatedToA": "FixedValueB",
      "x": {{faker 'number.float' fractionDigits=2 min=0 max=1000}},
      "y": {{faker 'number.float' fractionDigits=2 min=0 max=1000}},
      "z": {{faker 'number.float' fractionDigits=2 min=0 max=1000}},
      "f": {{faker 'number.float' fractionDigits=2 min=0 max=1000}}
    },
    {
      "RelatedtoD": "C",
      "RelatedToC": "D",
      "x": {{faker 'number.float' fractionDigits=2 min=0 max=1000}},
      "y": {{faker 'number.float' fractionDigits=2 min=0 max=1000}},
      "z": {{faker 'number.float' fractionDigits=2 min=0 max=1000}},
      "f": {{faker 'number.float' fractionDigits=2 min=0 max=1000}}
   }]
}

Theres more elements, but this is the gist of it.

In my inline response, these are fetched using {{{stringify (oneOf (dataRaw 'nameOfBucket' 'details' true))}}}

however, these are presented to the left in the data structure hierarchy: like this:

{

  "status": "100",

  "message": "Request processed successfully",

  "memberships": [

    {

      "memberID": "",

      "x": "",

      "xy": 452.56,

      "year": {

        "re": 469.51,

        "re2": 983.58,

        "re3": 355.31,

        "re4": 117.06,

        "re5": 351.46,

        "re6": [

          {

            "group": 1,

            "group d": "",

            "amounts": 58.88

          }

        ]

      },

      "details": [

        {

          "months": 12,

          "monthName": "desember",

          "monthSummary": [

            

            {

              "month2": 12,

              "gourp2": 4,

              "groupD": "",

              "amount": 482.08,

              "three": 797.22,

              "four": 89.55,

              "five": 63.09,

              "six": [{

  "RelatedtoB": "FixedValueA",

  "RelatedtoA": "FixedValueB",

  "x": 269.54,

  "y": 297.83,

  "z": 550.45,

  "f": 370.83

}

}......

How can i make it adhere to the structure of the JSON reponse?

There is no way for now. The returned content will be exactly the one you created. I admit that it's a bit annoying that the white spaces are kept.
In the end, white spaces doesn't really matter as the JSON, if valid, will still be parsed correctly by the consumer (app, postman, etc).

But I'm not sure what the solution should be. I think, the "normal" way of returning JSON in an API is to remove all white spaces and line returns, and let the consumer format it (indented) if supported.
I don't think formatting the response JSON with indentation and line returns would be a standard way of doing things.
