Problem Definition

I would like to use the Send Web Request Action to send a Request to a REST API Endpoint, then use the Response to perform some Actions in Jira, such as creating Issues, and finally, send the received JSON to a different, external REST API endpoint.

Suggested Solution

Provide a Smart Value that returns the JSON exactly as it was received without alteration.
Something like webResponse.body._raw or the like.

Workaround

To do so, I would have to manually configure the JSON back into the appropriate format, which can be complicated, and potentially prone to error if the format differs based on context. This article talks about how to format the JSON manually:
