Json – Anonymous object not showing in IActionResult response

I have my class defined as:

public class BusinessStatusHistory
{
    [JsonProperty("statusDate")]
    public string StatusDate { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("addInfo")]
    public object AddInfo { get; set; }
}

object AddInfo can be a string or an anonymous object.

In my controller, I retrieve a list of BusinessStatusHistory and I can see the value for addInfo pop up:

When I return the response in this line: return Ok(result);

the value for addInfo is empty if it is an object and it shows if it is a string.

This is a sample response:

    JObject doesn’t get recognized. You could try use ExpandoObject to parse the "AddInfo" to be recognized, Try following:

            public IActionResult Get()
        {
            var jsonstring = "{"status":"JHA Completed","trnRcptld":"JXFAKERJPT"}";
            var jobject = JObject.Parse(jsonstring);
            dynamic addinfo = new ExpandoObject();

            foreach (var item in jobject)
            {
                var ln = item.Key.ToString();

                (addinfo as IDictionary<string, object>)[ln] = item.Value.ToString();
            }


            var result = new BusinessStatusHistory { StatusDate = "2024-2-22", AddInfo = addinfo };
            return Ok(result);
        }
