### Answer In Code Node, the Store Fields as Variables feature lets you extract values from your code's return value and save them as dynamic variables for use in other nodes. [(1) ]() ## How It Works When your code returns a result (like a JSON object) , you specify which fields to extract using: - **Variable Name**: What you want to call the extracted value - **JSON Path**: The path to the value using dot notation ## Example If your code returns:

javascript
{ "status": "shipped", "estimated_delivery": "March 25" }

You can extract values like this: | Variable Name | JSON Path | Extracted Value | |---------------|-----------|-----------------| |

order_status

|

status

|

"shipped"

| |

delivery_date

|

estimated_delivery

|

"March 25"

| These variables can then be referenced as

{{order_status}}

and

{{delivery_date}}

in other nodes. ## Path Syntax - **Top-level field**:

status

extracts

result.status

- **Nested field**:

data.order.id

extracts

result.data.order.id

- **Array element**:

items[0].name

extracts the first item's name If a path doesn't exist in the return value, the variable is skipped without causing an error.
