Hi!
I noticed that metadata column of sthpw/file now not dict by default.
Is this bug or feature?

Hi Listy,

The sthpw/file metadata column is of type text. At what point was it different? Do you mean that at one point it was json?

So, i've been doing this file_object.set_value(name='metadata', value=json.dumps(MY_METADATA_DICT, separators=(',', ':')))
and then when i retrieved data back this column contained DICT. Without needing to json.loads.
