After some more testing, I found that taking the quotes out of the inside
hash and placing the quotes around the entire hash works:
"value": "{some: thing}"
That works.
The problem is that that's not how it gets reported from the API, if you
query for that information, it quotes in inside hash key and value. I'm
essentially trying to migrate massive amounts of parameter overrides from
one foreman server to another for a server migration and I can't see an
easy way to do that if the json the API spits out on one server cannot be
accepted in that form on the new server.
Does anyone have any experience in importing/exporting parameter overrides
between servers?
Thanks.
