Why is key:value pair displaying as [object Object] in the debugger?

Hello,

While troubleshooting my web events going to Analytics, my eVar18 value is displaying as "[object Object]" in the Adobe Experience Platform Debugger.  

When I look at my web tools console, I do see expected content for those same key:value pairs.

Why is the debugger not display the correct values for the key:value pair?

Here is the out put from the web tools console:

"""

[Adobe Analytics] Applying the following properties on tracker: "{"eVar1":"search_page.select","eVar2":"https://dev2.doc.workday.com/r/Z9lz_01hqDMDg6NSf7wCBQ/Jp4qKxuD~SKGomsmdrKAkA","eVar3":"dev2.doc.workday.com","eVar4":"« payroll » • Search Results • Administrator Guide","eVar5":"Z9lz_01hqDMDg6NSf7wCBQ","eVar6":"Authentication and Security","eVar8":"Jp4qKxuD~SKGomsmdrKAkA","eVar9":"Steps: Set Up Multifactor Authentication Using Emailed One-Time Passcode","eVar10":"/r/Z9lz_01hqDMDg6NSf7wCBQ/Jp4qKxuD~SKGomsmdrKAkA","eVar11":"https://dev2.doc.workday.com/api/authentication/sso/okta/callback?client_name=okta","eVar13":"fc2ba492-9432-44ea-8d5c-38fe8d82f2df","eVar14":"2aac8ae1-a869-4988-bccb-300918f1ad33","eVar15":"payroll","eVar17":"global","eVar18":[{"key":"prodname","values":"Authentication"}],"eVar19":1,"eVar20":null,"prop1":"search_page.select","prop2":"https://dev2.doc.workday.com/r/Z9lz_01hqDMDg6NSf7wCBQ/Jp4qKxuD~SKGomsmdrKAkA","prop3":"dev2.doc.workday.com","prop4":"« payroll » • Search Results • Administrator Guide","prop5":"Z9lz_01hqDMDg6NSf7wCBQ","prop6":"Authentication and Security","prop8":"Jp4qKxuD~SKGomsmdrKAkA","prop9":"Steps: Set Up Multifactor Authentication Using Emailed One-Time Passcode","prop10":"/r/Z9lz_01hqDMDg6NSf7wCBQ/Jp4qKxuD~SKGomsmdrKAkA","prop11":"https://dev2.doc.workday.com/api/authentication/sso/okta/callback?client_name=okta","prop13":"fc2ba492-9432-44ea-8d5c-38fe8d82f2df","prop14":"2aac8ae1-a869-4988-bccb-300918f1ad33","prop15":"payroll","prop17":"global","prop18":[{"key":"prodname","values":"Authentication"}],"prop19":1,"prop20":null,"linkTrackVars":"eVar1,eVar2,eVar3,eVar4,eVar5,eVar6,eVar7,eVar8,eVar9,eVar10,eVar11,eVar13,eVar14,eVar15,eVar16,eVar17,eVar18,eVar19,eVar20,eVar22,eVar23,prop1,prop2,prop3,prop4,prop5,prop6,prop7,prop8,prop9,prop10,prop11,prop13,prop14,prop15,prop16,prop17,prop18,prop19,prop20,prop22,prop23"}".

Thank you.

Verify how you're setting eVar18 in your implementation. If the value that you're using is indeed a standard JavaScript key-value object, then you should stringify it, i.e. with JSON.stringify(value), so that it gets tracked as a proper string value.

The browser console shows JavaScript values in a human-readable friendly manner. Generally, if you're seeing your eVar18 value in a different font and/or colour than the other eVar values, then your browser console has purposely formatted it nicely for you to be able to read it. But the value is still an object.

Sorry I have not yet been able to confirm your suggestion, the code is managed by our SaaS vendor and they have not yet updated the code with your solution.
