Hi Ortwin, Nicely done. In this case I want to be able to view and edit the json easily. This is a developer tool I'm building but the solution is really all hierarchical list based. The key for me is being able to edit the json value without messing with the key. This is where I discovered the Additional text parameter of an hList is useful. It's really the first time I've had reason to use hList parameters to be honest. In v2004 I used hLists extensively for various data display chores but since v13 and the improved listboxes I use very few. This is the first time they are a superior solution and the parameters provide the extensibility I need.
Here are a couple of screenshots to show what I'm doing: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/8r72qwgs6lqa2wo/AAB_0--YFCwGMzdJu9tat0oVa?dl=0 One shows what a json looks like in the hList. The other shows how the hidden var looks allowing the user to edit the value. None of that would be particularly useful without the ability to include data like the full key and even the data type, if you wanted that, in the parameters. Like I say I happen to be using this for JSON but it could be extended to any key:value kind of hierarchical list.
