Understanding the change in parser syntax for accessing the first element of an array in the new API update.

Hi all! I previously used a query like:
"relatedTask": relatedTasks[].value[0],
that worked nice. In a update of the API it seems to not longer work.
Anyone that could point me out how I can access the first element of the array and get the value?

In the new parser, precedence was swapped, so this means:
relatedTasks[].(value[0])
I.e., the first element of each
.value
of the array. So to accomplish what you have before:
(relatedTasks[].value)[0]

Perfect, thanks! Is it other things like this in the new parser I should know about, or read somewhere?

It's probably in the changelog somewhere, but this was changed in 2021, so I'm not sure I can find it. šŸ™‚
