Seed array type

[yonatan-cohen8186]

Is this your first time submitting a feature request?

• I have read the expectations for open source contributors
• I have searched the existing issues, and I could not find an existing issue for this feature
• I am requesting a straightforward extension of existing dbt functionality, rather than a Big Idea better suited to a discussion

Describe the feature

I'm trying to seed a csv file that contains an array field, but the dbt run doesn't seem to support it

Describe alternatives you've considered

I've considered solving this by adding a post-hook to the seed

Who will this benefit?

Anyone who wants to seed array fields

Are you interested in contributing this feature?

Thanks for reaching out @yonatan-cohen8186 !

We don't plan to being able to seed arrays, json, or variants within CSV files, so I'm going to close this issue as "not planned".

#2365 includes some workarounds that you could take a look at in the meantime.

If you need this capability for doing testing, then it would be covered by #8423
