I had the same problem, keeping me from really exploiting the power of jq. But for this and similar cases I am really glad about copilot being available to help. I just tell it what I need, together with a reduced sample of the source-json, and it generates a correct jq-script for me. For more complex requirements I usually iterate a bit with Copilot because it is easier and more reliable to guide it to the solution gradually than to word everything out correctly in the question in the first go. Also I myself often get new and better ideas during the iterations than I had in the beginning. Probably works the same with ChatGPT and others.
