MDEV-17399: JSON_TABLE: Odd code in table.cc:create_view_field ?

 

Hi Alexey,

What does the code quoted below do? I don't recall seeing it on previous review
iterations.

In any case,
* It needs a comment about why such special handling is needed.
* It needs test coverage - I have reverted these changes and didn't see
any test to fail?
