Add support for array parameters in the Create TaskRun and Create PipelineRun pages

[torrescd]

Is your feature request related to a problem ?

Imposible to enter/change an array parameter through UI.

All input changes seems to be transformed to string. (Default untouched arrays work well)

Describe the solution you'd like

Some way to enter/change an array parameter

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context

Steps to see current behaviour (array parameters converted to string)

• Task with array parameter
• Change default value
• Create taskrun

Thanks for opening this issue @torrescd. I'm converting it to a feature request since it's not something we've supported in any Dashboard release so far but would be a good addition.

There are a number of ways we could present this in the Create PipelineRun / TaskRun UI. Some initial thoughts:

1. a simple textarea where each array item is entered on a separate line
2. similar to the labels / node selector fields where we present a list of text inputs and buttons to add / remove them as needed
3. something else?

Do you have any thoughts on how you would expect to be able to enter them?

Can you provide some examples of how you're using array parameters in your Tasks?

[torrescd]

Thank you for consider the request.

Maybe another possibility to process the array value always as a yaml array, able to be parsed. e.g.

["value","anotherValue"]

- a
- b

[] null empty?

Currently, when the default value is displayed is showing a comma-separated list, but is not able to be parsed if you enter a new list, maybe this list format working is another option.

Regards!

We still want this, freezing so it doesn't get auto-closed. /lifecycle frozen

This is currently supported on the Create PipelineRun page via the recently added YAML mode. Create TaskRun will get the same treatment in the near future.

It would still be great to have this functionality in the form-based UI too for ease of use so keeping the issue open.
