BUG REPORT: getting a json element whose key contains only digits

[BP_9999767]

DESCRIPTION:

Thingworx service does not complete if getting a json element whose key contains only digits.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

1. Define `test` as a JSON property of a thing
2. Run the following service

me.test = {"123": "456"}

me.test["123"]
// Java class "org.json.JSONObject" has no public instance field or method named "123"

JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(me.test))["123"]
// Works (workaround)

ERROR MESSAGE:

Java class "org.json.JSONObject" has no public instance field or method named "123"

VERSION

 9.1.5-b698

I'm submitting the bug report here since there is a paywall on the contact us support page and this might be a big issue since it is interpretting the text of the key of the json object as code (or at least as a literal).
