@pikorpa pointed out SpecificContent is Dictionary(Of String, Object), so if you want to add a more complex JSON object that contains Arrays / Objects, you must first serialize the JSON.

{
  "itemData": {
    "Name": "asdf",
    "Priority": "High",
    "Reference": "{{$guid}}",
    "SpecificContent": {
        "Test" : {{specific_content}}
    }
  }
}

In the above specific_content is the value string of the following (Using Postman)

const TestData= [{
        "seq": 1,
        "loc": {"address": {"city": "ABC", "state": "XX", "zip": "1234"}}
      },
      {
        "seq": 99,
        "loc": {"address": {"city": "YYYY", "state": "AR", "zip": "54321"}
        },
        "comments": [
          {"type": "Test Comment Data", "value": "comment 1"},
          {"type": "Test Comment Data 2", "value": "comment 2"}
        ]
      }]

pm.environment.set("specific_content", JSON.stringify(JSON.stringify(TestData)));

which results in specific_content with the string value of "[{\"seq\":1,\"loc\":{\"address\":{\"city\":\"ABC\",\"state\":\"XX\",\"zip\":\"1234\"}}},{\"seq\":99,\"loc\":{\"address\":{\"city\":\"YYYY\",\"state\":\"AR\",\"zip\":\"54321\"}},\"comments\":[{\"type\":\"Test Comment Data\",\"value\":\"comment 1\"},{\"type\":\"Test Comment Data 2\",\"value\":\"comment 2\"}]}]"

You would then have to deserialize the JSON string in “Test” value when you fetch the queue item.
