Player attributes are always empty in GetMatchResponse

Hi,

as the title says, I'm trying to get player attributes via GetMatch, but each time, the EscapedDataObject or DataObject variable in a member's Attributes is completely empty. This is the request:

PlayFabMultiplayerAPI.GetMatch(new GetMatchRequest() {
    EscapeObject = true,
    MatchId = matchId,
    QueueName = queueName,
    ReturnMemberAttributes = true,
}, ...

and this is what I submit in the ticket request:

new MatchmakingPlayerAttributes {
    DataObject = new {
        PlayFabID = "<playfab id>",
        Rank = "<rank>"
    }
}

I tried with EscapeObject both true and false. If true, EscapedDataObject for each match member will be "{ }", if false, I can try to get something out of DataObject like this (this in a loop that goes through all the match members):

JsonObject jsonResult = (JsonObject) member.Attributes.DataObject;
object res;
jsonResult.TryGetValue("PlayFabID", out res); 
string id = (string) res;
Debug.Log("id: " + id)

but I just get an empty string. What am I doing wrong?

Sorry, I meant GetMatchResult, looks like I can't edit the title.

I tested it on Unity and I can use “item.Attributes.DataObject.ToString();” to get the string of DataObject. And EscapedDataObject is a string natively.

That's fine, but question is why they both contain nothing. They are equal to string.Empty or "".

So, may I ask did you try my code? Actually, I tried to parse DataObject by Utility.ToJson(DataObject), then I logged it and I got "{}" too. Then I used “item.Attributes.DataObject.ToString();”, I could get the content. In addition, I could Debug.log(EscapedDataObject) directly, it's not empty. I tested getting DataObject and EscapedDataObject and I could get content, they are not empty.

You can check my screenshot if you can see. I got {"Latencies":[{"region":"WestUs","latency":150}]}. (In this example, EscapeObject=false)

If you still can't get them, please make sure you pass them to the match successfully.

Yep, if I log the DataObject like so:

    PlayFabMultiplayerAPI.GetMatch(new GetMatchRequest() {
        EscapeObject = false,
        MatchId = matchId,
        QueueName = queueName,
        ReturnMemberAttributes = true,
    },
    result => {
            foreach(MatchmakingPlayerWithTeamAssignment member in result.Members) {
            Debug.Log(member.Attributes.DataObject.ToString());
        }
    }, 
    error => {
        Debug.LogError(error.ErrorMessage);
    });

I get this for the two members:

@Kexolino This is what works for us:

using PlayFab.Json;

JsonObject attributes = (JsonObject)PlayFabSimpleJson.DeserializeObject(member.Attributes.DataObject.ToString());

foreach (var attribute in attributes) {
    if (attribute.Key == "PlayFabID") {
        //attribute.Value will be the PF ID
    }
}

Can you please post what your GetMatch or your ticket request looks like? Or maybe there is some PlayFab setting that is wrong on my end? Because the result I get is this, and there's nothing in DataObject:
