@PaulAnderson-One Can you confirm if the response body that you see before saving as an Example has duplicate keys in the JSON? I think the keys that you see missing are the ones which are duplicated in the response. As you can't have duplicate keys in JSON, they get removed when saving as an Example.

Let me know if the issue is something else.
