MySQL json field

Hi! Just trying Wappler for the 1st time and loving it so far. However, there is one feature that I can’t seem to get working. I have a MySQL database with some json fields in it. I would like to be able to use these fields as objects and update them. So far I am able to select the field but I can only get the output as a string.

Is there any way to maintain the json object or convert the string output to an object and back again to a string when updating?
