This is an issue with type casting. The target parameter[1] is using a
string and I think that you believe that multiple concat::fragments
should get called, one for each element in the array, which is not going
to happen.
If that is the functionality you want, then $configs[2] should stay a
string and not allow arrays. You can use create_resources()[3] to call
amanda::disklist multiple times, which from your issue[4], is what I
believe your intention is.
Here is a gist[5] to demonstrate with YAML files that you might place in
Hiera.
