Converting PSCustomObject to Hashtable

Question

I'm having some problems converting some data from a json payload. The closest I've gotten is converting it to a PSCustomObject like below;

Fields
------
{@{short=true; title=Status; value=Status text.}, @{short=true; title=Type; value=Type text.}, @{short=false; title=Detail; value=This is some example detail text.}}

However I need to convert it to a Hashtable in the following format. Any help would be hugely appreciated.

Name                           Value
----                           -----
short                          true
title                          Status
value                          Status text.
short                          true
title                          Type
value                          Type text.
short                          false
title                          Detail
value                          This is some example detail text.

Thanks,

If we assume your JSON has been converted to object $obj, you can do the following to output an array of hash tables.

$obj.Fields | Foreach-Object {
    $hash = [ordered]@{}
    $_.PsObject.Properties | Foreach-Object { 
        $hash[$_.Name] = $_.Value
    }
    $hash
}

Your output will need to be an array of hash tables because a single hash table cannot have duplicate key names.
