    @Charles,
    Like Patrick, I was also thinking Velocity (VTL) as a solution, but as I tried to solution your original post, the Workday namespace convention in the property names adds some complexity. I don’t know if Velocity beats the null-safe mapper for your particular use case, but it can be good info for your tool belt in the future.

    The kind of ugly solution I came up with (in a one-liner) is:

    [
    {
       "output" : #set ($pd = $['wd:Project_Data']) #set ($ed = $pd['wd:End_Date']) #if (${ed}) ${ed} #else null #end
    }
]

    I’m not well versed in VTL, so there’s likely something a little cleaner than the above.

Hello pcoleman,

In the HTTP Client OAuth2 account configuration, there is the option Header authenticated that might be what you are looking for.

For more information please refer to the OAuth2 Account Documentation.

Let me know if this helps you.

Regards,

Aleksandar.

    Thank you Aleksandar_A,

    My mistake was that the "Send client data as Basic Auth Header" had also been checked. You sent me in the right direction! Thank you.
