Update table entity with a variable not explicit JSON

Question

I compose a string of the properties I want to update on a table storage entity in the jsonString variable. The value of jsonString is like "prop001": "false","prop002": "false". Where there are a variable number of properties.

I was hoping to use it like the image below illustrates but it does not allow this as a validator insists on valid JSON.

Is there aniother way to achivee what I am trying to do?

Try the following workaround:

1. Initialize / set a String variable using the input that currently doesn't work for you (because it isn't recognized as JSON)
2. In the Entity field of your action insert the following expression: json(variables('name_of_your_variable'))

The field value in the code will look like this:

Hopefully, that helps.
