 ====== Set Variables to JSON ======
-The //Set Variables to JSON// action lets you set a set of variables from a [[manual:JSON]] JSON dictionary.
+The //Set Variables to JSON// (v9.0+) action lets you set a set of variables from a [[manual:JSON]] dictionary.
+{{ set-variables-to-json.png?nolink&591x157 | Set Variables to JSON  }}
+The action will take a specified prefix and a JSON container (dictionary or array) and will set variables based on the prefix and the field names or array indices to the corresponding values.
+For example, with prefix `JSON` and JSON dictionary `{ "first" : "John", "last" : "Smith" }`, the action will set variable `JSONfirst` to `John` and `JSONlast` to Smith.
+The prefix should either be empty, or be a valid variable name with optional trailing space.
+===== Action Options (Gear ⚙ Menu) =====
+You can control what text processing happens in the JSON field by selecting one of these options from the Gear Menu:
+* Process Text Normally (process text tokens and backslash characters)
+* Process Text Tokens Only (process text tokens but not backslash characters)
+* Process Nothing (process neither text tokens nor backslash characters)
+You can select Pretty JSON result mode, which affects the variable values for entries that are themselves JSON containers (See the [[manual:JSON]] user manual section).
+You can select Strict JSON result mode, which affects the variable values for entries that are plain strings (See the [[manual:JSON]] user manual section).
+And you can optionally have all the non-matching variables with the specified prefix removed (as long as the prefix is not empty).
+===== See Also =====
+See the [[manual:JSON]] user manual section for more details on JSON.
