Comment (by dcavins):

 Replying to [comment:10 boonebgorges]:
 Boone, I'd like to add a test case to the tests in #42069 to cover this
 case. I added a case using the value

 {{{
 json_encode ( array(
   "one" => "Someone's Text/Value",
   "two" => 2,
   "three" => array( 1, 1, 2, 3, 5 ),
 ) );
 }}}

 but it appears to pass without the suggested fix. Can you suggest a string
 or encoded item that currently fails to update via the REST API that I can
 add to the test cases?

 Thanks!
