Advanced installer disregards "Parse and import json files" unchecked

We have a Advanced Installer project and need have some json files inside. We don't need any parsing and we need the file to be the exacct one we have on the file system. In configuration manager "Parse and import JSON files" is unchecked.
when we add the file it show as a file not as JSON File(Windows installer). Unfortunately when we press build - it will automatically become parsed.
We have tried many times to remove the file and add id again it does it always

Is there a way this to be fixed

Re: Advanced installer disregards "Parse and import json files" unchecked

Hello Stanislav and welcome to our forums,
Unfortunately when we press build - it will automatically become parsed
I'm not quite sure what you mean here. If possible, could you please give me some more details (e.g. you can exemplify through some screenshots)?

I'm asking that because I have added the JSON file as a normal file but I did not see any "Parse and import JSON files" option.

Best regards,
