Since dashboard only handles string, the only way I can think of is to
represent the array/hash data as yaml or json in dashboard and convert
the string back using a puppet function such as parsejson/parseyaml in
stdlib. At the moment, there's also additional escape characters
that's needs to be dealt with (a bug I think), so "[\"foo\"]" is
returned as "[\\\"foo\\\"]".
Thanks,
