We currently fall back to string type as a failsafe whenever we get a type we can't type properly. For cases where the field is defined as anyOf(string, object), aka type = ["string", "object"] or type = ["null", "string", object"], we are considering changing the behavior so that the value would be stored in a JSON-like field, such as JSON or VARIANT.

These JSON-like types are capable of holding "bare" string values as well as other variant data.
