Re: [Unity-idm-discuss] Possibility to release attributes always as list, even if it contains only a single value

[Sander A. <sa....@fz...>]

Good morning Krzysztof,
yes a setting in oputput translation profile would be greate. I agree a
global change to wrap all single-valued attribute into arrays would be
a good idea. Some attributes are defined as single-value and software
systems might expect them as single-value and not as array.

Best regards,
Sander
