Append ingest processor stringifies arrays instead of processing the elements one by one

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hello, it seems that the append processor "stringifies" input arrays instead of processing the elements one by one. Could that be? (Using elasticsearch 8.6.2)

Pipeline:

    "description": "testing issues with append",
    "processors": [
      {
        "append": {
          "field": "copy_to",
          "value": [
            "{{{from}}}"
          ],
          "ignore_failure": true
        }
      }
    ]

Test document:

[
  {
    "_index": "o",
    "_id": "i",
    "_source": {
      "from": [
        2,
        3
      ]
    }
  }
]

Simulated output:

{
  "docs": [
    {
      "doc": {
        "_index": "o",
        "_id": "i",
        "_version": "-3",
        "_source": {
          "copy_to": [
            "{0=2, 1=3}"
          ],
          "from": [
            2,
            3
          ]
        },
        "_ingest": {
          "timestamp": "2023-05-15T16:11:17.691991822Z"
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}

I'd expect copy_to to be [2, 3], not {0=2, 1=3}.
