PayloadJSON not correctly parsed

Hello !

I'm currently using PlayFab::PlayFabEventsAPI::WriteEvents to batch events. But recently I noticed on the backend that the PayloadJSON field is not correctly parsed.

I'm pretty sure my previous events were correctly converted the PayloadJSON field to a Payload field with the JSON hierarchy correctly parsed in it but I can't verify because these events can't be reached by me anymore ( 7 days limit ).

Here's the JSON sent : 

{
    "Events":[
    {
        "Entity":{
            "Id":"B1C7D2C6C551D849",
            "Type":"title_player_account"},
            "EventNamespace":"com.playfab.events.ark.MYNAMESPACE",
            "Name":"START_MAP",
            "OriginalId":null,
            "OriginalTimestamp":"2019-06-19T06:42:22.000Z",
            "Payload":null,
            "PayloadJSON":"{\"correlation\":{\"content_version\":\"258\",\"game_version\":\"1.582.0.2\",\"map_name\":\"A/MAP/NAME\",\"map_session_id\":\"6130fd62a2264ee48b6c8f5f3301729e\",\"platform\":\"win-x64\",\"player_role\":1},\"data\":{\"players\":[{\"is_local_player\":true,\"player_role\":1}],\"powers\":[],\"trinkets\":[],\"weapons\":[{\"name\":\"MY/WEAPON\"}]}}"
    }]
}

And here's the data i've got on the dashboard :

{
  "EntityId": "B1C7D2C6C551D849",
  "EntityLineage": {
  "MasterPlayerAccountId": "DE6FDC2A6441AB2E",
  "NamespaceId": "F2AF3D62F59FC87F",
  "TitleId": "FD7C6",
  "TitlePlayerAccountId": "B1C7D2C6C551D849"
  },
  "EntityType": "title_player_account",
  "EventId": "f8831b7b6e9a48f982cad8de8c3a2c9f",
  "EventName": "START_MAP",
  "EventNamespace": "com.playfab.events.MYNAMESPACE",
  "OriginalTimestamp": "2019-06-19T06:42:22.000Z",
  "PayloadJSON": "{\"correlation\":{\"content_version\":\"258\",\"game_version\":\"1.582.0.2\",\"map_name\":\"A/MAP/NAME\",\"map_session_id\":\"6221aeec10284fc9b2b36237b391c125\",\"platform\":\"win-x64\",\"player_role\":1},\"data\":{\"players\":[{\"is_local_player\":true,\"player_role\":1}],\"powers\":[],\"trinkets\":[],\"weapons\":[{\"name\":\"MY/WEAPON\"}]}}",
  "PlayFabEnvironment": {
  "Application": "mainserver",
  "Cloud": "main",
  "Commit": "053d439",
  "Vertical": "master"
  },
  "SourceType": "API",
  "Timestamp": "2019-06-18T14:26:46.6280856Z"
}

I also try to use the Payload field directly instead of PayloadJSON but I ended to the same result.

The SDK we use is not up to date but the release notes doesn't seem to imply a modification on this feature ( https://api.playfab.com/releaseNotes/#190610 )

Current SDK used : XPlatCppSdk-3.8.190410

Did I miss something ?

Is there an update on this @Sarah Zhang? I'm also seing this behaviour, this C# code:

var writeEventsRequest = new WriteEventsRequest
{
    Events = new List<EventContents>
    {
        new EventContents
        {
            EventNamespace = "com.playfab.events.default",
            Name = "dummy",
            Payload = new
            {
                Alpha = "Beta",
            },
        },
    },
};

await PlayFabEventsAPI.WriteEventsAsync(writeEventsRequest);

Results in this event:

{
  "Timestamp": "2020-05-28T12:36:02.5486569Z",
  "EventNamespace": "com.playfab.events.default",
  "EntityType": "title_player_account",
  "SourceType": "API",
  "EventName": "dummy",
  "EntityId": "XXX",
  "EventId": "d392a359d9e445b3a310b0c90ee6234f",
  "PayloadJSON": "{\"Alpha\":\"Beta\"}"
}
