Comments in project.json working inconsistently

[ipassynk]

Current Behavior

Comments (//) in project.json does not work inside options but if move above - works

Works here:

 "serve": {
      "// executor": "@angular-builders/custom-esbuild:dev-server",
      "// {projectRoot}/esbuild/proxy-mocks.ts":  "",
      "executor": "@nx/angular:dev-server",
      "options": {
        "esbuildMiddleware": [
          "{projectRoot}/esbuild/proxy-environment.ts"
        ],

But does not work here:

"serve": {
      "executor": "@nx/angular:dev-server",
      "options": {
        "// {projectRoot}/esbuild/proxy-mocks.ts":  "",
        "esbuildMiddleware": [
          "{projectRoot}/esbuild/proxy-environment.ts"
        ],
        "host": "localhost.xxxx.com"
      },

Expected Behavior

Should work inside options
