VDM phase_map loading error realign unwarp

[sboard1]

Having an issue loading the vdm file into spm. The single vdm file is not getting auto-populated { } for spm batch to read the vdm in the jobfile. Therefore, the vdm file is not being used in reference for realign and unwarping.

code: realignUnwarp.inputs.phase_map = 'file'

Actual behavior

jobs{1}.spm.spatial.realignunwarp.data.pmscan = 'file';

Expected behavior

jobs{1}.spm.spatial.realignunwarp.data.pmscan = {'file'};

• spm 12 batch editor needs these brackets to read the file

I suspect this may just be a version issue, with the Nipype code and version I'm running working with SPM8 and now that I'm running SPM12 the file is not being read in properly.
