Raw JSON Toggle / Flag for Blocks

An option for blocks to return the raw json data would be absolutely AMAZING. there’s a lot of information in numerous blocks that just doesnt get included due to underlying issues / restrictions / handicaps or the sake of keeping output variables to a minimum for a clarity.

A simple checkbox or flag of some sort to tell the block to just return the data raw would be great and eliminate the need to use a separate network request block for more advanced functionality :pray: (please bro)

I believe this is already planned, see Trello which includes a mention of raw outputs

Raw Outputs - for Discord network reqs, provide raw json

Yeah, this is already planned. It won’t be a toggle, just an additional output called “Raw JSON”.

Unfortunately, implementing this is an entirely manual process for every block, which is why it hasn’t happened yet. It’s a bit less work for triggers, but both should be implemented together.
