Is it expected behavior that you cannot create new index values with a list?
If I do a simple array creation with a list it seems to work
https://gist.github.com/3684884 (set_array_values_with_list.cf)
cf-agent -KIf ./set_array_values_with_list.cf
R: Array: local_array[id1]=value
R: Array: local_array[id2]=value
R: Array: local_array[id3]=value
But if I am overriding array variables, It does not appear that I can
create new ones. See how local_array[blue] is not set or reported, but
local_array[red] value is successfully overridden to dog.
https://gist.github.com/3684847 (override_array_defaults.cf)
cf-agent -KIf ./override_array_defaults.cf
R: Why does local_array[blue] not get set from the param?
R:
R: Param: main.array[red]=dog
R: Param: main.array[blue]=fish
R:
R: Array: local_array[one]=fish
R: Array: local_array[two]=fish
R: Array: local_array[red]=dog
To me it looks like a bug.
