Dynamic Placeholders / Transforms not working in JSON Config object?

[luckman212]

From https://www.alfredapp.com/help/workflows/advanced/placeholders/#modifiers

 

I am trying to use things like {query.stripnonalphanumeric} but I only get the raw text output... are the Transform Modifiers not supported in the Workflow JSON object?

@luckman212 I can see why this isn't working.

 

Interesting side note, the specific bit of code which does raw {query} replacement in the JSON object has this comment regarding skipping the use of modifiers:

 

// This is because the JSON utility is quite raw in its processing, so I'll wait and see if anyone notices.

 

This is from many years ago, so I guess it's now been noticed? 😂

 

I'll take a look at fixing this in a future build if it has no impact of behaviour.

 

Cheers,

Andrew

@Andrew Haha. Figures it would be me.

 

Thanks for looking. I swapped in an ArgsVars object instead and that works.
