client is adding unwanted double quotes in set request value when adding value on json_val

[kapilrastogi1231]

When we are using Set request and in set value is setting in json_val, gnmic is adding double quotes in the update/replace value:

gnmic -a <ip:port> -u <username> -p <password> --skip-verify set --update-path /a/b/m --update-value test --print-request --format prototext Set Request: update: { path: { elem: { name: "a" } elem: { name: "b" } elem: { name: "m" } } val: { **_json_val: "\"test\""_** } }
This is creating the issue as requested update data is wrong.

Those quotes are required. "test" is a valid json value, test is not.
