Bug: Query Responses Are Parsed As Strings

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.

Resolution

This bug was fixed in Appsmith version v1.22. In case you are using a lower version of Appsmith, please update your Appsmith instance to the latest version.

In case you are facing this issue on the latest version of Appsmith, please reach out to the Appsmith Support Team or file a new bug.
