Pass list of strings as parameter to action on st2 action execute or Web UI

Hey there! I've been struggling to pass in an array of string as a parameter to an action via the web UI or utilizing the cli interface. Here are some example permutations I've tried:

• st2 action execute pack.dummy_action.yaml age=34 names=["john","jim","pim"]
• st2 action execute pack.dummy_action.yaml age=34 names='["john,"jim","pim"]'

In the web ui i've attempted creating a list much like I would in a python script similar to ☝️. As well as unquoted strings separated by commas, etc. Is there a way to accomplish this?
