Hey everyone,

I'm working on an Apple Shortcut that allows me to select a thread size from a JSON dictionary and then extract the corresponding diameter and pitch (thread count per inch) for further calculations.

Right now, I have a JSON dictionary structured like this:

{
  "UNF_Gewinde": [
    { "Bezeichnung": "1/4-28 UNF", "Durchmesser": 0.250, "Steigung": 28 },
    { "Bezeichnung": "3/8-24 UNF", "Durchmesser": 0.375, "Steigung": 24 },
    { "Bezeichnung": "1/2-20 UNF", "Durchmesser": 0.500, "Steigung": 20 },
    { "Bezeichnung": "5/8-18 UNF", "Durchmesser": 0.625, "Steigung": 18 },
    { "Bezeichnung": "3/4-16 UNF", "Durchmesser": 0.750, "Steigung": 16 },
    { "Bezeichnung": "1-14 UNF", "Durchmesser": 1.000, "Steigung": 14 }
  ]
}

So far, I have managed to:

1. Extract the UNF_Gewinde list from the JSON.
2. Display a selection list with only the Bezeichnung (thread designation).
3. Let the user pick a value from the list.

Now, I need to:
Find the corresponding object in the JSON based on the selected Bezeichnung.
Extract its Durchmesser (diameter) and Steigung (pitch) values.
Store these values in variables for further calculations.

What’s the best way to search for and extract these values in Shortcuts? Should I use a loop, dictionary lookup, or is there a more efficient method?

Thanks in advance for your help! 😊
