How can I change the "key" name from an action field in Zapier (Scripting) with the KEY_pre_write method?

I was wondering how I can change the key of an action field through scripting in Zapier. I know I need to use KEY_pre_write to change an element before I send the request but how can I call the specific action field and change the key name in something else?

Zapier scripting image

The key name is currently "type" but I want to change it for instance to "type1".

Thanks in advance.

Fixed it myself btw, maybe for someone who needs to know.

'use strict';

var Zap = {

CompanyAdd_pre_write: function(bundle) {
var actionfields  = bundle.action_fields;
var stringify = JSON.stringify(actionfields);
var body = stringify.replace("type1", "type"); // renaming key
bundle.request.data = body;
console.log(actionfields);
return bundle.request;



}

};

David here, from the Zapier Platform team.

key is set by the key of the action itself. See here:

Those would be action_pre_write, broken_js_pre_write, etc. Feel free to tweak these for a private app, but note that it'll break any existing zaps that use that action.

​Let me know if you've got any other questions!
