Array converted to text in IDE...

[Brian Milby]

Do you have an example of the problem? The PI uses the tree view widget and should handle arrays. The one possible issue would be if the key had a comma which could cause issues (don’t think the PI has changed to support that but I do know an update to the widget is done - pathDelimiter)

Thanks,
Brian
