Fail to extract a value from json with dot in key

Google Cloud Apigee
1

I have the following json.

{
  "notificationType": "PROFILE_UPDATED",
  "userId": "11111-22222-33333",
  "data": {
    "linkedSystems.EMPI.euid": "12345678",
    "userData.lastName": "Smith",
    "userData.firstName": "John"
  }
}

I need to extract linkedSystems.EMPI.euid from the above json. I tried to use ExtractVariable policy but get nothing captured.

<ExtractVariables async="false" continueOnError="false" enabled="true" name="ExtractVariables">
  <DisplayName>ExtractVariables</DisplayName>
  <IgnoreUnresolvedVariables>true</IgnoreUnresolvedVariables>
  <JSONPayload>
    <Variable name="empi_euid">
      <JSONPath>$.data.['linkedSystems.EMPI.euid']</JSONPath>
    </Variable>
  </JSONPayload>
</ExtractVariables>

The above JSONPath expression is working fine in simulator. Not sure why it is not working here.

Can someone help? Thanks in advance.

Either of these work for me (Apigee X)

<Variable name='euid1'>
      <JSONPath>$.data['linkedSystems.EMPI.euid']</JSONPath>
    </Variable>

    <Variable name='euid2'>
      <JSONPath>$['data']['linkedSystems.EMPI.euid']</JSONPath>
    </Variable>

Note: no dot between data and the opening square bracket in that first example.
