title: Converting String to JSON in Data Factory
body: <p>Moving data from SQL Server to Cosmos in Copy Activity of Data Factory v2. One of the column in SQL server has JSON object (Although dataType is (<code>varchar(MAX)</code>) and I have mapped it to one column  in Cosmos collection. The issue is it adds it as <code>String</code> NOT json object. How can we setup it up in Copy Activity so that data for that one particular column gets added as Json Object not string </p>
  
  <p>It gets added as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>MyObject:"{SomeField: "Value" }"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However I want this to be:</p>
  
  <pre><code>MyObject:{SomeField: "Value" } // Without quotes so that it appears as json object rather than string
  </code></pre>
