How to skip the - character inside a JSON field in JS/type script

Question

One of the JSON field in my JSON file has the field "AlphaWorkStatusChangeInfo-Comment" and I'm trying to add value to that field. But some how the type/JS script is not accepting the "-" in the field.

            let data = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(Agri.data));
           
            data.AlphaWorkStatusChangeInfo =  ["other"];
            data.AlphaWorkStatusChangeInfo-Comment = "Had to quit the job";
            data.autoSave = true;

What are my options to include/Add the value in the field "AlphaWorkStatusChangeInfo-Comment".

Any help is much appreciated.

Try `data["AlphaWorkStatusChangeInfo-Comment"] = "Had to quit the job";` — angel.bonev, Sep 30 '20 at 11:21
Please research a bit before asking. This has been asked several times before. — trincot, Sep 30 '20 at 11:24

The hyphen is not valid unless you encase it as a string element like so:

data["AlphaWorkStatusChangeInfo-Comment"] = "Had to quit the job";
