When Using a Data object and cast it to/from a json field, the format is two levels deep.

What an excellent piece of work, chappeau!!!

I tried to use a data object to cast it to a field in the database. It is stored and retreived, but not in the json I would expect.

Model has a properties json field:

    protected $casts = [
        'properties' => NoteDto::class,
    ];

The dataobject only

    public function __construct(
        public readonly array $properties
    ) {
    }

and the values into the Dto

        $dto = new NoteDto([
            'key1' => 'Value1',
            'key2' => 'Value2,'
            ]
        );

renders to

{
  "properties": {
    "key1": "Value1",
    "key2": "Value2,"
  }
}

while I expected

{
    "key1": "Value1",
    "key2": "Value2,"
  }

I did not expect the fieldname in the json data.... Am I doing something wrong here?
