The workflow REST Service task enables users to use workflow variables to build the request body of the API call. The latest workflow variable values are retrieved at the time of the process.

However, JSON variables used for full replacement of a field value are being over-encoded.

The following field value should be submitted: [\{\"id\":\"videmo\",\"type\":\"user\"}]

Instead, the process submits the following field value: [[\{\\"id\\":\\"videmo\\",\\"type\\":\\"user\\"}]
