   > @winterhazel should we not deal with this in the UI in a more appropriate 
way? This introduces an incompatibility in the API that might break some 
integrations.
   
   @DaanHoogland compatibility-wise, yes; ideally, no.
   
   This API has an unpredictable formatting, which is a bad behavior. A single 
environment can even see two responses with different formatting for the same 
request depending on the MS that processes it. Addressing the UI is possible 
and better in regards to compatibility, but it is just working around an issue 
that can even result in integrations that do not consider this behavior (which 
I think most do not) unexpectedly breaking depending on the environment.
   
   I will modify this PR to address the UI instead and to document this 
behavior, so that the metrics view works for all users on the next release 
already, but I'll also map this issue hoping that someday we have a procedure 
to introduce breaking changes in order to be able to fix the underlying problem.
