How to save xtype value as String Array CQ5 / AEM

Question

I have a dialog with a set of specific types. One of the xtype is a "select" with a type of "select". Now each parameter has a value type of "String []", but when I add a component to the page and view the selected option.

It is stored as "String", not "String []".

Can someone tell me how to make / force xtype to store their values ​​in "String []" and not "String".

Thank you Sri

You can use one of the Sling options to control the creation of content using SlingPostServlet. Details: here

, @TypeHint . xtype , . cities :

<citiesTypeHint
    jcr:primaryType="cq:Widget"
    name="cities@TypeHint"
    value="String[]"
    xtype="hidden"

Answer 3

The Mateusz Chromiński variant almost worked for me, except that it value="String[]"leads to the emprty property, so I used defaultValue="String[]"it and it worked just fine.

<targetGroupsTypeHint
  jcr:primaryType="cq:Widget"
  name="./targetGroups@TypeHint"
  defaultValue="String[]"
  xtype="hidden"/>
