I am new to Thunkable and trying to pull test from a JSOM. I have created a saved ‘currentstory’ from both escaped and none escaped JSOM text, but, in my code I created, the text field keeps returning ‘null’ .. what am I doing wrong? How do I pull text from the JSOM?

Hi @geniusnexus, welcome to Thunkable! 🎉

The issue is caused by the backslashes in the JSON.
