Summary	0016918: Manage - Manage Configuration: Complex type doesn't handle array of strings
Description	The code doesn't strip the existing quotes before attempting to add quotes and hence the strings are quoted twice causing the array to become invalid for the code consuming the configuration.
Tags	No tags attached.
