Swagger 'GET' request always returns as text/html Accept type on response and NOT application/json

Question

I have a swagger tag document using the Swagger UI that always returns text/html but it should return application/json. The POST requests and every other type returns application/json but this particular GET request does not. The service end point code is correct. And if I change the request to POST it does return as application/json. So it is just type GET within swagger which does not return the correct type. Any thoughts how to correct the call within the UI to use the application/json?

This is swagger version 2.1.4 that was downloaded recently from the swagger site.
