Strange behavior of "get value for key" block

[busybird15]

When I right-click and select "Do It" for this block:

and input

{"time":"2023-11-07 00:00"}

as the value for "item", I get a result of:

Do It Result: "not found"

What am I doing wrong?

This is what I'm trying to get at:

I want to get the hour in the timestamp and use it as a number.

What am I doing wrong?

Is item a dictionary, or is it JSON text that has not yet been converted into a dictionary?

[busybird15]

Item is a json parsed with jsonDecodeWithDictionaries, but it throws an error in testing the app.

[ABG]

Add some global variables to catch the trail of intermediate results for Do It, starting with item.
Throw in an extra step evaluating IS A Dictionary(item) for good measure.

[busybird15]

Ah, using is a dictionary? on item returns false.

Found the issue with that block.
Way back in the code I found that my object was a list, not a dictionary.
That made a lot of the code nonfunctional.
Got it fixed.

Thanks for your help.

Just to round this off:

(the jsontextdecode block is found in the web component)
