How to pass Json objects in Rest Post method without quotes

Hi,

I have a requirement where whenever a record is created in a particular table (eg incident), i should pass the ticket number and other fields in key value pair as json objects like below in rest.

{

  "incidentid": "INC00101",

  "properties": [

      {

          "code": "summary",

          "value": "test incident"

      },

{

"code":"description",

"value":"test desc"

},    

  ]

}

I have configured the Rest Outbound and the outbound requires only two parameters "incidentid" and "properties".

here Properties should push all the filled field names and values. i have written a BR on this table to call the rest outbound and trying to pass summary and application name in key value pair

var property=[];

var json = new JSON();

var r = new sn_ws.RESTMessageV2(incidentRestMessage, 'post');

r.setStringParameter('incidentid', current.number);

//summary

if(current.short_description)

{

var summary={"code":"Summary","value":current.short_description.toString()};

property.push(summary);

}

r.setStringParameterNoEscape('properties',JSON.stringify(property));

var response = r.execute();

var responseBody = response.getBody();

var rBody = r.getRequestBody();

gs.log("rest call for "+current.number +"   "+rBody);

The log returns as {"incidentid": "INC00105","properties":"[{"code":"Summary","value":"heloo"}]"}. But my end tool doesnot accept the quote between properties string and values.

the highlighted quotes should not be sent when passing the parameters. It shoul dbe like {"incidentid": "INC00105","properties":[{"code":"Summary","value":"heloo"}]"}. When i log only JSON.stringfy(property) it returns without quotes but when i render with setStringParameterNoEscape it adds the quotes. Kindly help me on this.

Thanks,

Divya
