Is it possible to pass a JSON object as a metadata value into `lk dispatch create` cli command?

Thanks for reaching out, Slava. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.



Yes, it is possible to pass a JSON object as a metadata value into the `lk dispatch create` CLI command. To do this, you need to escape the quotes within the JSON string. For example:
```lk dispatch create \
--new-room \
--agent-name outbound-caller \
--metadata "{\"key\": \"value\", \"another_key\": true}"```
This ensures the JSON object is properly formatted and recognized by the command.
