    I would use the item() function to get the value. You can either assign the information in the screenshot above to a variable first or use it directly in the item() function.

     

    let myArray := [{
    timestamp: "2021-07-29T17:28:00.000Z",
    datetime: "2021-07-29T17:28:00",
    location: "Ellenwood, GA 30294",
    details: "Arrived at FedEx location"
    }];
    item(myArray, 0).details

     

    or

     

    item([{
    timestamp: "2021-07-29T17:28:00.000Z",
    datetime: "2021-07-29T17:28:00",
    location: "Ellenwood, GA 30294",
    details: "Arrived at FedEx location"
    }], 0).details

    Sorry, I should have answered the question as asked. This is the code I would use...

     

    item(parseJSON(YourTexFieldName), 0).details
