Issue/Introduction

Error Message :
U00021719 Syntax error object 'WS.OBJECT.TASK', line '00004'. 'U01001345 Variable 'myArray#' has not been defined as an array.'

If the 'Create as Array' checkbox is checked and the result of parsing a JSON Response only returns 1 value, the variable created is not created as an Array and the above error is displayed.

Expected 
Checking the box should force the creation of an Array even with only 1 value.
