Overriding ansible variable of Array type, webUI modifys the "Default Value" field and add "\" with every matcher addition.
Description
Cloned from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1785820
Description of problem:
ability to override ansible role variable.
If the variable's type is array, then, the webUI modifies the "Default Value" field on each edition + saving. It adds some escape characters "\".
Way to reproduce:
1. Import the role "linux-system-roles.timesync" and its variables
2. Associate this role to an host
3. Override variable "timesync_ntp_servers": set a default value to e.g. ["europe.pool.ntp.org"], add matcher e.g. fqdn = <host>, value = ["lu.pool.ntp.org"] and submit
4. Add a matcher and submit
5. Repeat step 4
Behavior:
First override: Default Value: ["europe.pool.ntp.org"]
Next saving: "[\"europe.pool.ntp.org\"]"
Next saving: "\"[\\\"europe.pool.ntp.org\\\"]\""
Next saving: "\"\\\"[\\\\\\\"europe.pool.ntp.org\\\\\\\"]\\\"\""
