Issue
I am using Appsmith and I am facing an issue where my query responses' data is being loaded on JS as plain strings, requiring me to JSON-parse it every time I want to use it anywhere on the app. I can't find any configuration to set up a response parse setting on the query configuration or in the data sources' settings. I was wondering if there would be a way to do this parsing just once, right after receiving the query response. I reported this issue to the Appsmith team, and they have started working on a fix but have not provided an ETA yet. They have shared a GitHub issue to track updates on the progress.
