  Hi @IRediTOTO, this isn't currently supported but would definitely be useful in many cases. This question was also discussed on discord here. A potential workaround solution would be to:

  1. Create a hidden preferences field
  2. On save, map the original array and return as an array of strings
  3. Pass this new array to your hidden field

  There might be more appropriate workarounds too if you want to share more information on what you're looking to achieve, let us know if you need further help here!

  Thank you for replied me and let me know. Ok fine, but I will wait for a that feature like that. This pretty basic, I think any Payload newbie will ask himself: where is the array??? :D
