Inconsistent handling of a string parameter within Web.Contents() Options record

I am trying to use a text parameter to set the key of a key: value pair within an Options record that gets used in Web.Contents(). The use case aside, the key of the key: value pair will not accept the parameter value but instead comes through as the parameter name. The value, however, comes through as the parameter value.

Here's a look at the variable set as the parameter value, getting passed into the Options record. Then, in the next image, the output parsed as Text.

 

Can anyone explain why this is happening or confirm that this is a bug?

 

 

 

  • Hi Anonymous ,
    you cannot use that syntax to define a record field with a variable name.
    Instead, simply leave that field out when defining the record and add that variable named field using the Record.AddField-function.

    There, in the 2nd parameter you can reference another paramter or query step.
