How do you create a JSON file with 3 levels

I am trying to create a JSON file from a database query. The JSON file is for invoices. Each file consists of a header group. The header can have multiple Lines and each line can have multiple costs. I believe with Studio you can only do two levels with the tWriteJSONField. Is that correct? Has anyone done three levels. I tried using two different tWriteJSONFields and them combining the results, but the JSON wasn't formatted correctly. Has anyone done this and would be willing to share their job?

I’ve done something similar, but I’m afraid I don’t have access to the job, so cannot share.

There’s a couple of ways to do this:essentially.

1-create the level 3 data 1st then join with the level 1/2 data in a tMap, then use a tJavaRow to convert the text to a JSON object yourself.

2-prepare the level data into textual arrays, which you construct into the JSON object in a tJavaRow.
