I can't see your code because pastebin is blocked to me, but I may be able to give you some advice anyway: 1. You can pass an array of key=value pairs as a parameter to a provider, and the provider can parse it any way you like. 2. BUT you should not try to populate *other* parameters' values that way. If you define a parameter that accepts a complex, structured value, then the entire value belongs to the parameter to which it is assigned. 3. Wouldn't a hash be a better fit to the data than an array of key/value pairs anyway? What are you trying to achieve by this approach? There is likely a better way.
