Using rest with eval

Hello,

is there a possibility to use the |rest command with an eval like:

anysearch
|eval test = [rest /services/authentication/current-context
|rename username as user|return $user]

With this search I just get an empty field test. But why?
Greetings

Use it like this (run anywhere code). You're extracting string and its need to be within double quotes for eval to work.

|stats count |eval test = [|rest /services/authentication/current-context |eval user="\"".username."\""|return $user]

WOW!
Thank you very much. That solved the problem.
Another possibility is to use:
"+" instead of "." in the eval
