Using f-string in `item_properties`

I cannot seem to use f-string and/or string variable in `item_properties` when I want to publish an item (GeoJSON in this case).

Here is what I have:

region = "Gulf of Mexico" gis = GIS(username=USERNAME, password=PASSWORD) data_path = "/path/to/data.json" title = f"Objects in {region}" item_properties = {"type": "GeoJson", "title": title, "tags": "object detection"} item = gis.content.add(item_properties=item_properties, data=data_path) publishedCollection = item.publish(file_type='geojson')

The use of a string variable gives me a `KeyError: 'type'` when I attempt to publish the item.

The `KeyError` would go away, however, if I use the following `item_properties`:

item_properties = {"type": "GeoJson", "title": "Objects in Gulf of Mexico", "tags": "object detection"}

Is this a known issue? I would like to programmatically set the title; is there a way around the inability to use a string variable/f-string?

It turns out that it was not the f-string that was the issue. It appears there might be a character limit to the title of the Feature Layer that was causing the problem.
