Hey - I'm working with pipelinewise's tap-s3-csv and I want to set the tables dict config as an environment variable so I have to serialize it as a string. The tap only accepts a dict as input and not a serialized string. So when meltano writes out the env var to the config.json I get errors from the tap. I requested that they support both dict and string but im wondering if theres some way to tell meltano to deserialize before dumping to the config.

@pnadolny That's right, if you set

kind: object

under

settings

in

meltano.yml

, Meltano will deserialize the string value and pass it to the tap in

config.json

as expected
