Hi, I have two values in payload the host name and IP Address, which I need to access separately:

```auto
      "transform" : {
        "type" : "script",
        "status" : "success",
        "payload" : {
          "_value" : [
            [
              "web01.host.local",
              "10.10.10.10"
            ]
          ]
        }
      },

```

Executing `{{ctx.payload._value}}` concatenates both values `web01.host.local, 10.10.10.10`

I'm looking for something as follow (however it does not work):  
`{{ctx.payload._value.0}}` it should resolve to `web01.host.local`  
`{{ctx.payload._value.1}}` it should resolve to `10.10.10.10`

Thanks in advance

The correct answer is `{{ctx.payload._value.0.0}}` and `{{ctx.payload._value.0.1}}` as the array is inside another array
