Issue with Table REST API Post request

[Cam14]

I have a table that should hold JSON in a field, u_body. When I send a post request to the table API with valid JSON which looks something like

{"u_body": [{"DATA": "123","SERIAL_ID":"ABC123"...}]}

I get a 201 success request, but the string in u_body and the post response string for u_body doesn't look like the JSON I sent. It ends up being like

"{[DATA=1234,SERIAL_ID=ABC123...]}"

Has anyone experienced this? If so, what is the fix to preserve the original JSON so I can actually use it and don't get stuck with the incorrectly formatted string?

ServiceNow automatically converts JSON objects into JavaScript objects (GlideElements) when storing them in a table. It replaces : with = and removes quotes.

Try this 

{
"u_body": "{\"DATA\": \"123\",\"SERIAL_ID\":\"ABC123\"}"
}

Hi @Cam14 ,

try sending the data in this format

{"origins":"[{\"Critical Update Instruction Flow.2bf457f553143110a8edddeeff7b12a9\":\"2bf457f553143110a8edddeeff7b12a9\",\"Critical Update Instruction Flow.a67a673d53543110a8edddeeff7b12a8\":\"a67a673d53543110a8edddeeff7b12a8\",\"Critical Update Instruction Flow\":\"f8e2d4361172021008ddf292ecbfee14\",\"Critical Update Instruction Flow.7dea6e7d53503110a8edddeeff7b12ee\":\"7dea6e7d53503110a8edddeeff7b12ee\"},{\"Critical Update Instruction Flow.2bf457f553143110a8edddeeff7b12a9\":\"2bf457f553143110a8edddeeff7b12a9\",\"Critical Update Instruction Flow.a67a673d53543110a8edddeeff7b12a8\":\"a67a673d53543110a8edddeeff7b12a8\",\"Critical Update Instruction Flow\":\"f8e2d4361172021008ddf292ecbfee14\",\"Critical Update Instruction Flow.7dea6e7d53503110a8edddeeff7b12ee\":\"7dea6e7d53503110a8edddeeff7b12ee\"}]"}

Thanks. That works, but I just need regular JSON.
