Description

I have created task with some properties in their GeoJSON. When I access this task through the API, the properties seem to be "stringified". So I put these in:

"properties": {
  "way_id": 348147035,
  "identifier": "intersection_ways_buildings_v2_348147035"
}

And got these out:

"properties": {
  "way_id": "348147035",
  "identifier": "\"intersection_ways_buildings_v2_348147035\""
}

Research direction

No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the API response from the GeoJSON example and trace the API's response serialization for task properties. Done means numeric and string property values are returned with their original JSON types rather than being stringified.
