<div dir="auto">The right way to use it to avoid list conversion is to expand the list <b>inside</b> quotes (to preserve list items separators):</div>

<div dir="auto"><br /></div>
<div dir="auto">Without the quotes, all list elements are concatenated in the result string (see documentation).</div>

<div dir="ltr">I'm collecting sources and includes into a parent scope variable, and then attempting to use that variable to reference the right sources.
<div>Sources get added to the list as ../(theirpath)/(source) so in the parent level I can simply replace "../" with "" and then they are relative in the right place.<br />
<div>This works; as far as, the includes, sources and defines get all collected into the top level, but when i try to remove the ../ the list gets converted into a string.</div>
