Symptoms

When attempting to call a third party API (e.g.,Microsoft Graph API) to retrieve certain data though a connector service request in orchestration, the output has NULL instead of the actual value 

When using the "Test" option in connector service request design window the correct output is achieved, but when the "Show Output" button is clicked the output becomes NULL.

When running the orchestration the output becomes NULL.

Steps

1. Create a REST connection and REST connector service request with "." in the output variable.
2. Login into orchestrator studio.
3. Open the orchestration.
4. On the Connector service request click on 'Design'.
5. Click on "Test" button.
6. Check the output showing the correct value.
7. Click on "Show output" button.
8. Check the output showing the NULL value.
