It seems like since upgrading to 8.0.16 `runPrepQuery` no longer returns a dataset to a perspective table (when used in a transform binding). It now returns the following format: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/d/3/d35a831745d4b8310f69e097dfc0d71ac91358aa.png) I don’t really have an issue with it returning an object, but shouldn’t it return an Array of Objects, that way it could have the column names bundled in with the data? Something like this: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/3/d/3da678c2a97d8988f8d2fd54a82f063f55bc69cf.png) I need to first cast it as a `BasicDataset` for it to have the same functionality as before upgrading to 8.0.16 ---

This is a regression fixed for 8.1.0.
