Hey @Ankit_Shah,
I looked into this a bit more and it does seem like a Retool bug I'll add your +1 to the bug report.
It looks like it works as expected if you use the key value pair changeset option:
but it needs to be stringified when using the form data object.
For the time being, you could use another component, as you had mentioned in office hours, or you could use Javascript to stringify the value within the form data (see image below where ['json'] is the form data key of your json editor component
I wanted to say that temporary workaround did the job for me. I look forward to underlying bug being addressed so I can remove this workaround.
