520681725 MDU6SXNzdWU1MjA2ODE3MjU= 621 Syntax for ?_through= that works as a form field 9599 open 0     7 2019-11-11T00:19:03Z 2021-12-18T01:42:33Z   OWNER  

The current syntax for ?_through= uses JSON to avoid any risk of confusion with table or column names that contain special characters.

This means you can't target a form field at it.

We should be able to support both - ?x.y.z=value for tables and columns with "regular" names, falling back to the current JSON syntax for columns or tables that won't work with the key/value syntax.
