ToolJar's JSONPath convention

Paths always start at the document root, written as $. Object properties use dot notation when the key is a valid identifier ($.user.name), keys that aren't valid identifiers use quoted brackets ($["first-name"]), and array elements always use a numeric index in brackets ($.users[0]). This mirrors the JSONPath dialect used by most JSON tooling, restricted to exact paths (no wildcards or filters) since every path here identifies one specific value.

Questions

Can I use wildcards like $.users[*].name?
Not currently — ToolJar's path finder resolves exact, single-value paths (matching what you get by clicking a node), not JSONPath query expressions with wildcards or filters.
Why does my path say "not found"?
Either the path syntax is invalid (shown as a parse error), or it is syntactically valid but no value exists at that location in your current document — for example, indexing past the end of an array.
