Add to dictionary in Data Jar

[sylumer]

I do not see a GET DICTIONARY option for Data View in Shortcuts.

I do see GET TYPE OF VALUE, and when I pass it my path, it returns DICTIONARY.

Use Data Jar’sGet Value and give it the key path. It returns whatever is at that key path. If it is a dictionary, it will return that dictionary.

I can’t figure out how to store key value pairs for the date and the true or false answer to if I ran or not.
It seems like I need a dictionary, but Shortcuts only allows me to add to lists.

Shortcuts uses an engine behind the scenes that lets it switch between data/object types. If you try out the View Content Graph action you can see the relationships for a variable.

On iOS, tap on a populated variable. And note the Type property. You can change the type to specify or coerce between types.

Here I have added Clipboard as a variable, and perhaps it contains a number or string, but by changing the type, I can tell Shortcuts to treat it as a Boolean.

Hope that helps.
