How to push data to a nested Object

Question

How can I push another element to the variables property from the below object?

  var request = {
    \"name\": \"Name\",
    \"id\": 3,
    \"r         


        

Answer 1

You have to "navigate" properly in your object:

request.rules[0].tags[0].variables.push({
  "variable":"var3",
  "matchType": "Regex",
  "value": ".*"
})

request['variables'] will just try to find the variables key in root of the request object. This key is simply not defined but is nested in your object/array structure.
