Given the manifest below, shouldn't the property value be saved as serialized text (dataNtext column of the cmsPropertyData table? The table shows it sitting in the dataNvarchar column.

What am I missing?

{
propertyEditors: [
    {
        alias: "editorAlias",
        name: "Editor Name",
        editor: {
            view: "~/App_Plugins/xxxx/view.html",
            valueType: "JSON"           
        }       
    }    
],
javascript: [
    '~/App_Plugins/xxxx/editorAlias.controller.js'
],
css:[
    '~/App_Plugins/xxxx/editorAlias.css'
   ] 
}
