Generating nested repeating values with JSON Generator
Hi, I'm trying to use the JSON Generator to create data with nested repeating values.
I want to create 100 objects with an ID, Name, and Code. The Id is incremented from 0 to 99, but the Code (prepended with 'code-') is incremented from 0-24 and then repeats (so row 25 will have an Id of 24 and a code of 'code-24', but row 26 will have an Id of 25 and a Code of 'code-0')
What is the template for JSON Generator to produce this output?
The template to get just the first 25 is like so:
[
'{{repeat(25)}}',
{
"id": "{{index()}}",
"name": "{{random('long', 'string', 'with', 'name', 'values')}}",
"code": "code-{{index()}}"
}
]
How do I add another loop above this to make the template repeat 4 times?

Instead of nesting this in another loop, you could simply calculate the value of "code" from the value of index(). It's the remainder of the division by 25:
[
'{{repeat(100)}}',
{
"id": "{{index()}}",
"name": "{{random('long', 'string', 'with', 'name', 'values')}}",
"code": "code-{{index() % 25}}"
}
]
