When query against Log Analytics workspaces, dynamic are not converted to list

[yssrku]

Code Sample, a copy-pastable example if possible

from azure.kusto.data import KustoClient, KustoConnectionStringBuilder


kcsb = KustoConnectionStringBuilder.with_aad_application_key_authentication(
    "https://ade.loganalytics.io/subscriptions/.../resourcegroups/.../providers/microsoft.operationalinsights/workspaces/...",
    "...",
    "...",
    "..."
)
client = KustoClient(kcsb)

results = client.execute(
    "...",
    "print x = dynamic(['a', 'b'])"
)

print(type(results.primary_results[0][0]['x']))

Problem description

The data type should be a list, just like when querying against ADX.
Instead, I got a str.

This is also inconsistent with the ADX Web UI.

If query related, does it happen on other platforms (Kusto Web UI, Kusto Explorer)?

No

We'll consider if an API is missing here.
In the meantime you can do one of the following:

1. Change you line to json.loads(results.primary_results[0][0]['x'])
2. Add a convertor to automatically create json object like this
   KustoResultRow.conversion_funcs["dynamic"] = json.loads

Decided to add docs on advanced parsing handling.
