Steps causing the bug to occur

I think something like this will work but is there a better way than using Split Text and Cut Text to strip out brackets and quotes in this JSON list of hex colors?

[["#9d7e79","#ccac95","#9a947c","#748b83","#5b756c"],["#fcfef5","#e9ffe1","#cdcfb7","#d6e6c3","#fafbe3"],["#9cddc8","#bfd8ad","#ddd9ab","#f7af63","#633d2e"],["#30261c","#403831","#36544f","#1f5f61","#0b8185"],["#aaff00","#ffaa00","#ff00aa","#aa00ff","#00aaff"],["#d1313d","#e5625c","#f9bf76","#8eb2c5","#615375"],["#ffe181","#eee9e5","#fad3b2","#ffba7f","#ff9c97"],["#73c8a9","#dee1b6","#e1b866","#bd5532","#373b44"],["#805841","#dcf7f3","#fffcdd","#ffd8d8","#f5a2a2"]]

The answer is to use Replace Text. Solved here: https://community.vuo.org/t/-/6927

This is actually a bug in Make Tree from JSON. It doesn’t handle arrays of arrays correctly.

Good that you found a workaround, @jersmi. Another workaround is to restructure the JSON data as an array of objects, like in the attached composition.

Oh, wow. Well, hats off to Vuo for providing the tools to work around that one!

The bug in Make Tree from JSON is fixed in Vuo 2.4.4.

@jersmi, here’s a simplified version of your original composition that now works:

Heads up that this breaks your JSON Color Palettes composition — you might want to update it now that Vuo expects a slightly different data format.
