Trying to use /summon to spawn a splash potion entity always results in an 'Unable to summon object' error.

      Trying to use this command:

      /summon minecraft:potion ~ ~2 ~ {Potion:{id:minecraft:potion,Potion:"minecraft:strong_healing"}}
      

      results in an error saying, "Unable to summon object."

      This is the same error message used when trying to summon an entity with a name that does not exist, such as when misspelling an entity's name in the summon command.

      However, throwing a splash potion and running this command:

      /execute @e[type=potion] ~ ~ ~ /say Potion Detected!
      

      in an activated Repeating Command Block confirms the fact that a splash potion's name is indeed internally handled as "potion," meaning that the summon command must be glitched in order to not accept "potion" as a valid name.

      In Summary:

      What I expected to happen:
      After running the command, a Splash Potion of Healing II is summoned above my head.

      What happened instead:
      The game gives me an error saying: "Unable to summon object"

      How to reproduce:
      Run this command:

      /summon minecraft:potion ~ ~2 ~ {Potion:{id:minecraft:potion,Potion:"minecraft:strong_healing"}}
