Postman Get Request Set Environment Variable

I have a GET request in Postman. I am trying to set an Environment Variable for objectId from the response body.

Here is my response body which is fine.

{

  "odata.metadata": "https://graph.windows.net/myorganization/$metadata#directoryObjects/Microsoft.DirectoryServices.User",

    "value": [

    {

        "odata.type": "Microsoft.DirectoryServices.User",

        "objectType": "User",

        "objectId": "0fjrkfkfc-50b1-4259-a778-sjvmfgr5bhjj",          
   }
        ]
}

I have tried the following to save the objectId as an Environment Variable but its not working. Any help will be appreciated.

var jsonData = JSON.parse(responseBody);
postman.setEnvironmentVariable("testtoken", jsonData.value[1]);  // returns [object Object]
postman.setEnvironmentVariable("testtoken", jsonData.odata.metadata); // returns [object Object]
postman.setEnvironmentVariable("testtoken", jsonData.value);  // returns [object Object],[object Object],[object Object], etc.
postman.setEnvironmentVariable("testtoken", jsonData.odata.metadata.value);  // returns nothing
postman.setEnvironmentVariable("testtoken", jsonData.odata.metadata.value.objectId);  // returns nothing

You almost got it :)

jsonData.value[1].objectId should work.

jsonData.value will return an array containing single element - object with keys odata.type, objectType and objectId.
