Description
Friends, this widget works with the JSON type. If you do not explicitly specify a quoted string, then you do not need to interpret the value as a string.
Here is an example that actually causes an error in the application due to forced casting of a value to a string type.
Input: key field max_length, value 255. Result
{"max_length": "255"}

The issue provides no file or test path. Reproduce the shown max_length=255 input, then inspect the widget’s handling of JSON values. Done means numeric values remain numbers while explicitly quoted values remain strings.
