Yeah, I'm also not sure why they are asking this. I'm going to try your suggestion, if they are not ok with that, I will suggest them to make changes from their end.

No. It is about the requirement "the other team expects the dictionary to be enclosed in single quotes".

The output format is only a visual we use to better understand the output of an expression. It has zero impact at execution time.

toJson() returns a simple string. Now, you can wrap that string into any characters you want.

"'" & tojson(<YOUR_DICTIONARY>) & "'"
