Help in field extraction/transformation

I have a JSON log entry with  key-value pairs within the field component. I'm trying to transform the field into sub-fields using the key-value pairs. 

Example:

"msg":{"additionalValues":"{responseTime=137, synapseTag=None, serviceName=switching-integration, uri=com.bigcompany.switching, responseCode=200}", <more fields>,...}

For Splunk,  I can pull one field, referenced as "msg.additionalValues". But I can't seem to transform the KVP's within that field into sub-fields.  (such as "msg.additionalvalues.responseTime", and msg.additionalvalues.synapseTag, etc ) 

Any ideas?

Hi @timgren 

It looks like the solution in other post might satisfy your requirement. Solved: Re: How to extract fields from child node - Splunk Community

Well, Not really as that is an inline rex of known fields, not a transformation of subfields which can be a variety of names.  But thanks. A transformation at time of ingestion is what I'm after.
