You can get a property name by using this block: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/0/9/09eda7d0ba8b25ce56ab51d2a42b91af2770ff7e.png) So you would want to get the object properties of cloud variable “users/user1” which would return a list of all property names under that path. And then you can use List blocks to get a specific value from that list. ---

i tried using get object properties block but it simply doesn’t connect to other blocks can you maybe show more explanation or how I can modify the whole code block to get the items ---

I’m on my phone so I can’t give you an example of the blocks but you can set an app variable to the get object properties block and then use that variable wherever you need to access those values. ---

Hello @itsvedanttikareztlgx Here is an example using the “Get Object Properties of” block: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/a/d/adc3c5163432285d1b20db1290d0f937838cb860.png) ---

@itsvedanttikareztlgx you populate the object properties to a simple list for debugging to make sure you’re getting the expected output. ![object-properties](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/2/8/284c711ab84606901bf30589a132f8afdaa6d8f2.png) ![object-properties-01](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/7/9/79c539d6e7e5de510e8bd5f902f12f5c06573ecf.png) I tried to mock up your example data using this JSON: {“users”: {“users1”:{“inventory”:{“item1”:{“item1name”:“iOS device”,“item1quantity”:5},“item2”:{“item1name”:“android device”,“item1quantity”:22}},“personal”: {}, “business”:{}}}} ---
