Bug with handling of Arrays in Automate

[akhilkr128]

This bug happens when we create option values like this.

Saving direct array values to $evm variable as provided in the steps is not producing any errors.

Working on the solution.

Found this bit of code as well:

manageiq-automation_engine/lib/miq_automation_engine/engine/miq_ae_engine.rb

Line 246 in 5be34d7

def self.create_automation_attribute_array_value(value)

As far as I found out looking at the structure under $evm there are a couple of different ways the arrays are stored in different dialog field/value locations. Standardizing the structure and serializing the array in one of the more standard ways (json, yaml or using Marshal) might be a good improvement as a comma is not that uncommon to have in a string. Someone with a bit more knowledge of the backend might need to take a look as I (just a user) don't have a good grasp of the whole backend.
