How do I combine commands on the #XSOAR command line?
If one command wants a list, I would like to call a list, not enumerate it on the command line.
For example, the RandomElementFromList works like this:
!RandomElementFromList count=1 value="banana, orange, potato" may randomly respond with "orange". Easy Peazy.
getList works like this:
!getList listName=fruitAndVegatables will respond with the entire list. Nice.
What if I have a long list named fruitAndVegatables stored and I want a compound command that will pick a value by combining the randomElementFromList command and the getList command? What is the syntax?
My guess is this, but it doesn't work:
!RandomElementFromList count=1 value=!getList listName=fruitAndVegatables
What combination of quotes, curly brackets and delimiters do I need? I am interested in the syntax. I did not see a relevant example.
Thanks

Hey there,
just adding and summarizing what the other folks already shared....
The idea of running an a command within a command is not really forseen by XSOAR, I know you can do some magic with dt https://xsoar.pan.dev/docs/integrations/dt but not to the extend you are looking for.
So the best way forward is using the Context and keep manipulating it, basically running the commands in sequence
!getList listName=fruitAndVegatables extend-context=mylist
!RandomElementFromList count=1 value=${mylist}
or something along those lines 🙂

In completion to the @John374McCray answer, you can use the extend-context parameter to ensure your context path is specific to that command (in case you use getList twice for example) : https://xsoar.pan.dev/docs/playbooks/playbooks-extend-context

Its all about the Context. Im starting to see that now. Its like a giant collection of global variables. Thanks for the help.
