📌 Examples

wfg graphql @'

    }
}
'@ --variableJson ((@{
    name = "SIMPLE_APPROVAL"
    version = 1
} | ConvertTo-Json -Compress) -replace '"', '\"')

Due to a known PowerShell bug at time of writing (https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/issues/1995), any double quotes (") will be stripped from the string when sending it to a native executable. The solution is to add a backslash (\) before each double quote, or use three double quotes (""").
