Removing this allows the command to be completed. What is the purpose of including this? There's a warning that the name field requires a string, so it would be expected that only a string can be parsed.
,{selector:"@s"}No, it requires a text json component. it can be string, object, or array, and in array you can mix three of these. the issue is you can't do that unlike read from a file.
Thank you for your report!
