Binding API output to Text widget

Database & APIs

Hi, I am new to Flutter and using the graphic tool. I have successfully created the JSON Path named responseContent (pointing to $.choices[0].message.content), and the API test returns the full response.

However, when I bind it to the Text widget, FlutterFlow is treating the binding as a literal text token/placeholder instead of evaluating it to the actual rendered value from the API. From internet searches - This is a known FlutterFlow binding quirk with API responses (especially OpenAI-compatible chat completions like Grok). The editor sometimes "tokenizes" the reference instead of resolving it at runtime. Any guidance is appreciated.

What have you tried so far?

Successfully tested the API.

Tested changing text in the Text widget.

Changed Text via the "Action Output" and static text for the "Exception Message"

Cannot bind to variable output of the API via the "Action Output" or "App State" for data properties.

Did you check FlutterFlow's Documentation for this topic?
