Backslashes (\) removed in parameters

Hi,

I created the application ApiCall, which allows sending an API request with multiple configurable options. Each "action" is created by the user in the form of a JSON entered in each parameter line of the application in Garmin IQ. My application has been working for several years. 

However, since about march 2026, some users that have made some changes on there parameters, have reported a syntax error in the usage of my app even though they haven’t made any change on the line impacted by the error.

It seems that just saving the parameters now removes all \ characters!
In the meantime, I have asked these users to double all \ characters in their parameters, it works but this is not sustainable in the long term.

In principle, there is probably a security issue if that character is interpreted, right?

I recall that this behavior appeared a few years ago as well and was quickly fixed by Garmin.
I'm pretty sure to had open a case around march but impossible to find it ... However it's still not patched.

Regards.
