JIL json serializer does not serialize properties from derived class

Below are the code snippet:

public async Task WriteAsync(OutputFormatterWriteContext context)
        {
            if (context == null)
            {
                throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(context));
            }

            var response = context.HttpContext.Response; response.ContentType = "application/json";

            using (var writer = context.WriterFactory(response.Body, Encoding.UTF8))
            {
                Jil.JSON.Serialize(context.Object, writer);
                await writer.FlushAsync();
            }
        }

1) Model Type: 

public class BaseBOResponse
{    
   public string pk { get; set; }
}

public class PaymentTypeBOResponse : BaseBOResponse
{          
    public string description { get; set; }
    public bool isSystem { get; set; }
    public bool isActive { get; set; }           
}

Here when i set something to BaseBOResponse's response property "pk", then JIL serializer eliminate this property.

Please suggest if you have any solution.

You have to tell Jil to include inherited properties as well:

Jil.JSON.Serialize(context.Object, writer, Jil.Options.IncludeInherited);
