When building a template with query that uses another template variable, often times json parse fails because of escaping of special characters.
My query looks like:
{"find": "terms", "field": "storageInstances.lunInstances.name", "query":"storageInstances.name:$Storage_instances"}
Where for example, the $Storage_instances = "cent7-pbs-client-app__ST__storage-1"
According to chrome console, the query being json parsed is:
a = "{"find": "terms", "field": "storageInstances.lunInstances.name", "query":"storageInstances.name:cent7\-pbs\-client\-app__ST__storage\-1"}"
The stack trace shows:

If I use json formatter on the above query, it complains of an invalid character when "-" is escaped.
- What was the expected result?
I believe the template should handle escaping of template variables according to json standards.
