How to send and array of strings as Parameter in Swagger UI for testing?

Question

I have the following method:

 public async Task<IHttpActionResult> GetGlobalPageTemplatesbyTags(List<string> tags)
        {
            var telemetry = new TelemetryClient();
            var tagLookups = new HashSet<string>(tags);
            try
            {
                var globalPageTemplateStore = CosmosStoreHolder.Instance.CosmosStoreGlobalPageTemplate;

                var globalPageTemplates = await globalPageTemplateStore.Query()
                        .Where(template => template
                            .Tags
                            .Any(tag => tagLookups.Contains(tag.TagName))

And in swagger it appears like this:

However when I enable remote debugging, the tags parameter is always null,

what am I missing here?

Change your controller signature to: (Add the FromUri attribute)

public async Task<IHttpActionResult> GetGlobalPageTemplatesbyTags([FromUri]List<string> tags)

And add each value in a new line like this

"short"
"long"

You dont need to add quotes around the words. In Swagger, you can simply write each string you want in the array in new line
