JSON saved in attributes has escapes added to quotation marks causing it to not be valid

Hello,

I am trying to remove the need for a Lambda to run on every call that is pulling a list from DynamoDB and converting it into a JSON structure to populate a dropdown in a view. I have created a Lambda that automatically updates and publishes a module with the new JSON string in a "set attribute" block.

When I view the attribute block, it shows it as it should be, with the quotes unescaped.

But when I look in cloudwatch logs, it has the quotes escaped.

This is causing the view to not display, and it just hangs on "loading view" until it times out. Is there a way to either make it so connect doesn't escape the quotes when it goes to save the attribute, or a better way to update a saved string on a schedule.

Thank you in advance for your help!
