Design and Test Scripts in One Environment
Scripts are designed and tested in the Script Editor. While designing a Script, test it before you deploy it. Scripts are tested within the authoring environment to ensure they function as intended. While testing, do the following:
Use the JSON data model that you can preview from your Screens to ensure that variables designed from a Screen function as intended in your Script.
Incorporate other JSON-formatted data, such as API keys, to ensure your Script uses them correctly during your testing.
