Entity JSON Serializer & JSON Parser: Error: Bad JSON escape sequence

[kschepperly]

I am using "Entity JSON Serializer" in a workflow to gather all attributes on the systemuser entity. I am then using JSON parser to extract specific fields from the JSON output. However, the domainname attribute is throwing the error below due to a bad escape. Since the domainname field typically stores the format of domain\username, it is failing due to the unescaped backslash. i.e. "\".

Error: Bad JSON escape sequence: \A. Path 'systemuser.domainname', line 1, position 1650.

Trace: Plugin Trace:
