Athena is particularly affected because its engine spec has no custom complex type handling and relies entirely on the default serialization path [[2]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset/db_engine_specs/athena.py). Several PRs have been merged that improve this area: - [PR #38172](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/38172) — tracks nested columns before stringification and restores them as Python dict/list objects, which directly addresses this class of bug. - [PR #41099](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/41099) — `stringify_values()` now uses JSON encoding instead of Python's `str()` for dict/list values. **Workaround:** Cast the map column to JSON in your query: ```sql SELECT CAST(payload AS JSON) FROM ... ``` This avoids the problematic stringification path and was confirmed working in the prior issue [[3]](https://github.com/apache/superset/issues/37363#issuecomment-5124517892). It would be worth checking whether this is fixed on `master` given the merged PRs above — if it still reproduces there, a failing test case or PR would help the maintainers triage this. <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To reply, just mention [@dosu](<https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot?utm_source=github&utm_medium=bot-comment&utm_campaign=github-comment-footer-20260415&utm_content=reply-with-mention&utm_term=apache%2Fsuperset>).* --- Share context across your team and agents.
