Hi Amedeo, Thanks for the answer.
How would you pass a dictionary then? I mean what’s the best course of action? Serializing it somehow into a non JSON, non Plist primitive type seems weird. Could I maybe just escape it’s JSON representation? Is there a way to force ERRest to interpret a specific property as an attribute and not a relationship?
