Felix Sonntag · Answer

Building this via `prefect deployment build param example py example flow n example flow o example flow deployment yaml` And then applying via `prefect deployment apply example flow deployment yaml `

It seems for lists the UI is buggy it looks like it s supposed to be able to select lists but in the end it only takes a string value

Anna Geller · Answer

great example to reproduce and I was indeed able to reproduce thanks for raising that and I ll open an issue < Marvin> open UI interprets parameters of type list as strings

for now as a workaround when you set those on the deployment YAML it should work ```parameters ```

yep it works setting them in the YAML I also realized doing this ```def example flow params ExampleParams = ExampleParams ``` sets up the default params directly so also a good workaround for now
