Hi, you can try to use string attribute once and use JSON.stringify() for storing. Parsing can be done using JSON.parse().
Ref: https://appwrite.io/docs/databases#attributes

Is it a feature request for custom json field or just a question how to put some json data into document? If it’s a second then JSON.stringify(value) should work,
Otherwise same could be done on the backend side with some serialization, shouldn’t affect anything if used with REST API because of content-type. Anyway storing as a string and then parsing it back is a common practice, not just for backends

Any plan to implement the support of JSON type?

json.stringify doesn't work. unless i manually encode every key value pair it appwrite is throwin up.

x: {"metadata":{"components":[{"label":"Text Field","applyMaskOn":"change","tableView":true,"key":"textField","type":"textfield","input":true},{"label":"Password","applyMaskOn":"change","tableView":false,"key":"password","type":"password","input":true}]}}

z: {"metadata":"hello world"}

appwrite accepts z. but does not accept x.

i even tried manually adding quotes around the value part of metadata, like so:
x: {"metadata":"{"components":[{"label":"Text Field","applyMaskOn":"change","tableView":true,"key":"textField","type":"textfield","input":true},{"label":"Password","applyMaskOn":"change","tableView":false,"key":"password","type":"password","input":true}]}}"

thoughts?
