    Does this work making it easy for you to filter for things?

    you can use Object.keys to find the corresponding message

    const json = {
  data: [{
      identifier: 'A',
      itemType: 'Printer',
      error: [
        {
          'A0010': 'Not printing'
        },
        {
          'A0020': 'Out of ink'
        },
        {
          'A0030': 'No power',
        },
        {
          'A0040': 'Noise',
        },
        {
          'A0300': 'Feedback',
        },
        {
          'A0500': 'Other'
        }

      ]
    },
    {
      identifier: 'B',
      itemType: 'PC Issues',
      error: [
        {
          'B0010': 'No power'
        },
        {
          'B0020': 'BSOD',
        },
        {
          'B0030': 'Virus related'
        }, {
          'B0300': 'Feedback'
        },
        {
          'B0500': 'Other'
        },
      ]
    }

    I’m not totally sure what you mean by identifier unless you mean via javascript 👇

    var a = {
    "Printer":[    
    {
    "identifier" : "A0010",
    "reason" : "Not printing"
    },    
    {
    "identifier" : "A0020",
    "reason" : "Out of ink"
    },
    {
    "identifier" : "A0030",
    "reason" : "No power"
    },
    {
    "identifier" : "A0040",
    "reason" : "Noise"
    },
    {
    "identifier" : "A0300",
    "reason" : "Feedback"
    },
    {
    "identifier" : "A0500",
    "reason" : "Other"
    }]
}
var b = {
    "PC Issues":[    
    {
    "identifier" : "B0010",
    "reason" : "No power"
    },    
    {
    "identifier" : "B0020",
    "reason" : "BSOD"
    },
    {
    "identifier" : "B0030",
    "reason" : "Virus related"
    },
    {
    "identifier" : "B0300",
    "reason" : "Feedback"
    },
    {
    "identifier" : "B0500",
    "reason" : "Other"
    }]
}
