Hi,

I have a class like:

class SQLClass(db):

  json_field = Column(sqlalchemy.dialects.postgresql.JSONB)

I'm doing something like:

session.add(
     SQLClass(json_field = dict(
        key = [value1]
     )
))

session.commit()

slq_class_obj = session.query(SQLClass).first()

new_dict = slq_class_obj.json_field

new_dict['key'].append(value2)

slq_class_obj. json_field = new_dict

print(slq_class_obj. json_field) # looks OK

session.commt()

print(slq_class_obj. json_field) # I just get [value1]

The changes I made to json field (new_dict) were not persisted.  However, 
if just change the json_field to be an empty dict that is persisted.

I know there are some issues with mutation and the JSON data type, but I 
thought since I was setting the field value rather than just mutating the 
dict in place the mutation would be tracked.

Why is setting the field to an empty dict persisted while my change is 
not?  Any general advice on handling JSON and mutation would also be 
welcome.

Thank you for your help!
