Wrong quoting when assigning values including double quotes to variables

Current Situation

• When variables are assigned values that include double quotes ("), for example in arguments to jobs, then the JOC Cockpit Workflow Editor applies wrong quoting.
• Assume that a user adds the following value to a command variable that indicates an SQL Statement:

  SELECT count(*) as "total_order_count" FROM HISTORY_ORDERS WHERE CREATED BETWEEN '$start_datetime_utc' AND '$end_datetime_utc'
  

• This value is stored in JSON format like this:

   "command": "\"SELECT count(*) as \\\\\\\"total_order_count\\\\\\\" FROM HISTORY_ORDERS WHERE CREATED BETWEEN '$start_datetime_utc' AND '$end_datetime_utc'\"",
  

Desired Behavior

• The correct quoting for the above example is like this:

  "command": "\"SELECT count(*) as \\\"total_order_count\\\" FROM HISTORY_ORDERS WHERE CREATED BETWEEN '$start_datetime_utc' AND '$end_datetime_utc'\"",
  

Workaround

• Users can use the "Edit JSON" action menu item to manually correct wrong quoting in JSON.
  • Remove the superfluous backslashes in front of double quotes from \\\\\\\" and make this \\\".
  • Having submitted the changes from the "Edit JSON" popup window immediately deploy the workflow without further changes as otherwise the Workflow Editor will re-write the JSON format in wrong quoting.
