fromJson (toJson .Chart) does not have reflexive behavior

[SOF3]

Output of helm version:

version.BuildInfo{Version:"v3.14.2", GitCommit:"c309b6f0ff63856811846ce18f3bdc93d2b4d54b", GitTreeState:"clean", GoVersion:"go1.21.7"}

When I evaluate .Chart.Name, it goes through the Go exported field. But when I evaluate (fromJson (toJson .Chart)).Name, it becomes null, because toJson emits Name as the alias name instead, and fromJson would not unmarshal it back to the tagged struct and I have to write .name instead of .Name.

I know it was weird of me to toJson a .Chart. I did so simply because I was passing an enormous dictionary as argument to another template, and I thought it was easier to format it as YAML and (include "internal-template" . | include "library-template"), and I tried to write the .Chart inside the YAML.

@SOF3 do you have a complete, but minimal example which I can look at and test the failure scenario? It's a bit unclear (to me) what is happening here.

$ cat templates/example.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: abc
data:
  release: {{include "show-keys" (toJson .Release) | toJson}}
  chart: {{include "show-keys" (toJson .Chart) | toJson}}

{{- define "show-keys" -}}
{{keys (fromJson .)}}
{{- end}}

$ helm template .
