Description

tjeppesen reports:

In the User’s Guide (https://geode.apache.org/docs/guide/19/tools_modules/gfsh/command-pages/put.html) it says:
_--key
Required. String or JSON text from which to create the key. For example: “James”, “100L” and “('id': 'l34s')”.

--value
Required. String or JSON text from which to create the value. For example: “James”, “100L” and “('id': 'l34s')”. _

But in the example commands it uses:
_put --key=('id':'133abg125') --value=('firstname':'James','lastname':'Gosling')
--region=/region1 --key-class=data.ProfileKey --value-class=data.ProfileDetails_

So no “” around the JSON.

If I do that in GFSH I get an error:
_gfsh>put --region=/CashflowGroupMap --key=('c1':'Hello World') --value=('c2':'XXXXTest') --key-class=java.lang.String --value-class=java.lang.String
Option '' is not available for this command. Use tab assist or the "help" command to see the legal options_

With the “” around the result looks right with {} around the key:
_gfsh>put --region=/CashflowGroupMap --key="('c1':'Hello World')" --value="('c2':'XXXXTest')"
Result : true
Key Class : java.lang.String
Key : {'c1':'Hello World'}
Value Class : java.lang.String
Old Value : null_
