Hi, I am trying to update an object on an rest api endpoing and I need to build the proper json structure.

I am getting unwanted extra sets of quotes in my activateRegions list and I do not know how to remove them or build this in another way… i’m really close just missing something… any thoughts or help is welcome, thanks
