Adding a property into specified location into json using Newtonsoft.Json

Question

I have a following JSON. I have added 2 x double quotes so that I could declare it as stringvariable in c#, in realit

Answer 1

I have managed to fix this issue, posting a solution here in case it can help others. I have realised that all controls in my json are part of component object/array so we can use JSONPath, see the link for more details. Following code has done the trick:

public void IterateJson(JObject obj, string mandatoryFieldKey)
        {
JToken jTokenFoundForMandatoryField = obj.SelectToken
("$..components[?(@.key == '" + mandatoryFieldKey + "')]");   
            //Now we convert this oken into an object so that we can add properties/objects in it
            if (jTokenFoundForMandatoryField is JObject jObjectForMandatoryField)
            {
                //We check if validate already exists for this field, if it does not
 //exists then we add validate and required property inside the if condition
                if (jObjectForMandatoryField["validate"] == null)
                    jObjectForMandatoryField.Add("validate", 
JObject.FromObject(new { required = true })); //add validate and required property
                else
                {
                    //If validate does not exists then code comes here and 
//we convert the validate into a JObject using is JObject statement
                    if (jObjectForMandatoryField["validate"] is JObject validateObject)
                    {
                        //We need to check if required property already exists, 
//if it does not exists then we add it inside the if condition.
                        if (validateObject["required"] == null)
                        {
                            validateObject.Add("required", true); //add required property
                        }
                    }
                }                
            }     
}
