PUT /application/settings doesn't accept same elasticsearch_url datatype as GET output
Summary
A large GitLab Premium customer reports internally that our API endpoint PUT /application/settings requires a different data type for elasticsearch_url (string), than GET /application/settings returns (array of strings).
Steps to reproduce
- On a test instance with Advanced Search enabled, create a PAT with
read_api. -
curl -s -H "PRIVATE-TOKEN:${PRIVATE_TOKEN}" "${1ST_API_URL}/application/settings" > Gitlab_config.json-
jq .elasticsearch_url < Gitlab_config.jsonyields["https://…:9200"]
-
- On another instance with the same GitLab version, create a PAT with
apiscope. - Try
curl -s -X PUT -H "PRIVATE-TOKEN:"${PRIVATE_TOKEN} -H "Content-Type: application/json" ${2ND_API_URL}"/application/settings" -d "@Gitlab_config.json".
Our docs say that for importing, a string is needed.

What is the current bug behavior?
{"error":"elasticsearch_url is invalid"}%
What is the expected correct behavior?
The elasticsearch_url":["https://…:9200"] output should be accepted by the 2nd instance as is, without needing to remove the brackets.
Also, elasticsearch_url":["https://…:9200","https://…:9201"] yields the same error. It has to be elasticsearch_url":"https://…:9200,https://…:9201" to work, although the API outputs the array with 2 strings.
