On Brainlife, when we enter a list, we have to use the type STRING and so the elements of the list are is considered as stringsa string, so they need to be converted.

Indeed, a list of floats or integers are written as follows in the config.json:

{
param_picks_by_channel_types_or_names = "[0, 2, 1]"
}

So, we first need to convert it into a list and then convert the elements of the list into the right type.

For a list of strings:

if isinstance(picks, str) and picks.find("[") != -1 and picks is not None:
    picks = picks.replace('[', '')
    picks = picks.replace(']', '')
    picks = picks.replace("'", '')
    config['param_picks_by_channel_types_or_names'] = list(map(str, picks.split(', ')))

If you want to convert it into a list of floats or ints, just replace str in list(map(str, picks.split(', '))) by the type you want.
