While experimenting with the uber deliveries API sandbox I noticed that when I POST to https://sandbox-api.uber.com/v1/deliveries to create delivery of a new item with item[]."is fragile": true, that the response from the sandbox incorrectly shows item[]."is fragile": false. At least I think this is incorrect, I didn't see it listed as a known limitation of the sandbox. Is this a bug?

This seems to be a bug in the Uber sandbox environment for the Deliveries API.
