I would like to pass array as property in yaml (values file) in Helm. What I tried:

1. Attempt.

   elasticsearch:
     uri: "[\"127.0.0.1:9200\",\"127.0.0.2:9200\"]"

   Error:

   ReadString: expects " or n, but found [, error found in #10 byte of ...|RCH_URL":["127.0.0.1|..., bigger context ...|{"apiVersion":"v1","data":{"ELASTIC_SEARCH_URL": ["127.0.0.1:9200","127.0.0.2:9200"],"LOGS_ENV_PREFI|...

2. Attempt. According to official helm site how to pass array

   elasticsearch:
     --set uri={127.0.0.1:9200,127.0.0.2:9200}

   With error:

   error converting YAML to JSON: yaml: line 15: mapping values are not allowed in this context

3. Attempt.

    elasticsearch:
      uri: 
      - 127.0.0.1:9200
      - 127.0.0.2:9200

   Failed with the same exception as 1.

EDIT: Actually in my case the helm values were not used in YAML file then, so I needed another format and finally solution was to pass uri as string with single quote:

 elasticsearch:
   uri: '["127.0.0.1:9200","127.0.0.2:9200"]'

Nevertheless @Marcin answer was correct.
