I'm trying to do some development work, and did something I've done many times....put a sample data set into the document repository so I don't have to build a server side just for testing some stuff.
But for the first time, I'm doing this with a JSON document. File uploads just fine, but when I try to retrieve it from the repository in a script, the script engine throws and error saying "Source document variable "myDocument" is not a TextDocument.
This variable contains the name of a file "Employees.txt". That file contains the following simple JSON data:
{
"employees":
{"first_name": "John",
"last_name": "Doe"
}
}
Since this is straight text, I'm not understanding why it cannot be retrieved from the repository. Is this just some weird limitation of UCCX, or am I missing something?

Ok.....figured out how to do this. This seems kind of a strange way to do this, but it works.
Normally when pulling a document out of the repository, you drop it into a document variable. That won't work if it's a JSON document. What you have to do is drop it into a string variable instead. You can then put the string variable into a document variable and proceed to work with it. This is what worked for me below. The variable types are self explanitory, but "myString" is a string, and "myDocument" is a document. In watching the values in the variables in the debugger, you can see things populating correctly.
