I'm really struggling with a custom connection for Flow I've created due to the "object" type required by a customer. I validated their swagger file.
Below is the particular "object" type in question:
"customFields": {
"type": "object",
"additionalProperties": {
"type": "object"
}
If I send in the PUT the following: customFields: { "22570" : "TEST"}
Then Flow adds double quotes before and after my brackets like so: customFields: "{ "22570" : "TEST"}"
Anyone have any thoughts on how I can get Flow to stop adding the double quotes?
Thanks in advance for any help someone can give me.

Hi @JohnC525,
Could you please share a screenshot of your flow's configuration?
Do you want to send in the PUT as an object ({ "22570" : "TEST"}) rather than a string ("{ "22570" : "TEST"}")?
If you want to send in the PUT as an object rather than a string, I think the Variables-> "Initialize variable" action could achieve your needs. You could consider take a try to Initialize an Object variable within your flow to store your input value.
I have made a test on my side and please take a try with the following workaround:
{ "22570": "TEST" }
variables('CustomFields')
On your side, type the following formula to reference the Object variable value that you initialized within above step:
variables('VariableName')

The flow works successfully as below:

Kris, to answer this question: "Do you want to send in the PUT as an object ({ "22570" : "TEST"}) rather than a string ("{ "22570" : "TEST"}")?"
My answer is Yes. That is what I am trying to do. I'm scheduled to work no this tomorow (4/4/18) so I will try out what you described and see if it will work for me.
Thanks,
John.
Kris, Your solution worked perfectly. Many Thanks!!!
This was very helpful, thanks.
