When the dynamodb connector is in “simple” mode, columns containing JSON data (datatype “map”) are being set to null. Here is the results of a query with simplify _on_, note the null value:

Here is the output of the exact same query with simplify turned off, note the same field with “M” data (map) now shows data:

Hi @napter, thank you so much for reporting and sorry for the trouble!

I was able to confirm the behaviour using the current version of n8n and have added it to our engineering backlog for a fix.
