Json values in New-UDAutocompleteOption

I have a function that fetches data, and constructs a dropdown using New-UDAutocompleteOption, however, if the -Value parameter contains json it throws an error.

The following code works as expected (_notice the underscore in the ConvertTo-Json string):

New-UDApp -Content { 
    Function Get-STBEntries {
        [CmdletBinding()]
        param()
    
        '[{
        "Status":  "Status1",
        "Serialnr":  "aaa111"
        },
        {
        "Status":  "Status2",
        "Serialnr":  "bbb222"
        }]' | ConvertFrom-Json
    }
    
    $STBEntries = Get-STBEntries
    
    New-UDCard -Title 'Select computer' -Content {
        $STCompOptions = $STBEntries | Foreach-Object {
            [string]$Value = "_$($_ | ConvertTo-Json -Compress)"
            New-UDAutocompleteOption -Name $_.Status -Value $Value
        }
    
        New-UDAutocomplete -Label 'Select' -Options $STCompOptions -OnChange {
            Show-UDToast $EventData -Duration 100000
        } -FullWidth
    }
}

If i remove the underscore and do [string]$Value = "$($_ | ConvertTo-Json -Compress)" i get an error instead.

As there are obvious and simple workarounds for now I prioritize this as low, but it seems to me this would be an unexpected behaviour..
