Docs: Push options for GitLab CI/CD ci.input=<name>=<value> array example wrong
Problem to solve
The documentation gives the following example for the use of the push option ci.input with arrays:
Example with an array of strings: `ci.input='["string", "double", "quotes"]'`
This however does not follow what it says at the begin of the line and also doesn't function. As it is missing the <name> for the array.
`ci.input=<name>=<value>`
Further details
I have reproduced the issue here:
Git command without the <name> for an array: https://gitlab.com/klokkenman1/test-ci.variable/-/jobs/10981535101#L75
Resulting pipeline uses the default for the array: https://gitlab.com/klokkenman1/test-ci.variable/-/jobs/10981545489#L23
Defaults are defined here: https://gitlab.com/klokkenman1/test-ci.variable/-/blob/main/.gitlab-ci.yml?ref_type=heads#L4
Functional
Git command that does use the <name> for an array https://gitlab.com/klokkenman1/test-ci.variable/-/jobs/10981614156#L75
Resulting pipeline uses the correct values for the array: https://gitlab.com/klokkenman1/test-ci.variable/-/jobs/10981620993#L23
You might notice the functional push command does not have quotes as the example does but this might be GitPython encapsulating it and not showing it.
Proposal
Change
Example with an array of strings: `ci.input='["string", "double", "quotes"]'`
to
Example with an array of strings: `ci.input='type=["string", "double", "quotes"]'`
Who can address the issue
Anyone could address the issue but validating might need pipeline composition/authoring.

Related MR by me that also addresses the weird quote behavior in more detail but that can be removed. !198647 (closed) (closed)
