Can you look if your current foo works still? Im trying to use it and I get the following:

jq: invalid JSON text passed to --argjson

If I take off the " | jq -n --argjson v $foo '{"foo": $v}'" part at the end I get closer to what I need.

The above action will not put the "foo": part in nor will it put commas in between }, {

I am using ver 1.5 hope you can help. Today is my first day trying to use jq so Im pretty sure what you have above worked at least at some point.

Thanks for any help you can offer.
