Describe the bug
I need to use comma separated arrays in front matter.

---
test: ["a", "b"]
---

But it is automatically formatted as

---
test:
  - a
  - b
---

I tried the following settings

"frontMatter.taxonomy.commaSeparatedFields": [
    "test"
]

However, it is automatically formatted as

---
test: a, b
---

but what I actually need is

---
test: ["a", "b"]
---

Is there any way to solve this problem?

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Windows 11
  • VSCode 1.79.2
  • Front Matter v8.4.0

@HareToAme Unfortunately this is not possible, internally we use a dependency that converts JSON to YAML and it does not support single-line arrays.
