Int as a string in the body.

[matidmarino]

I want to send a numeric string in the json body but artillery converts it to an int. For example:

"post": {
     "url": "xxx",
     "json": {
          "user_id": "{{ user_id }}",

I want user_id be sent as a string and not as a number ("100" instead of 100). I tried a beforeRequest hook to make the conversion and it didn't work.

I get the same behaviour. I even tried with a custom JS function which overwrites that field with a value converted to string, but somehow Artillery still sends it as an INT.

I tried custom js function as well and that didn't work either. But found in the documentation that passing cast: false will not change the type from string to int.
