Translated JSONField now always returns str

[jose-reveni]

With the latest release which includes #700, JSONFields now always returns a str (instead of something like a list or dict).

I'd expect django.utils.encoding.force_strforce_str with strings_only=True to keep types like dicts and lists, but they are not included in the list of protected types.

Hi, please, be more specific and provide code samples.

It returns str when accessing field? Are you using default= argument?

@sergei-maertens looks like default with JSONField is broken and we need to refactor it, probably to work only for char fields where translation makes sense.

I yanked the release, to limit affected users.

@jose-reveni please, check if the issue is fixed in master branch.

Check, at least we had quick feedback on this!

Sorry it took me so long to reply, I just remembered I had opened this issue after checking my pyproject.toml 😅
I just checked with v0.18.13-beta.0 and its working perfectly!
