After some changes when I try to add an entity on gae through their
interface, the StringListProperty field does not even show for me to
put data in it.

If I edit a record that already has some data, the StringListProperty
field has [] in it, but if I leave it blank or add some data like
['a','b'] I get the error:

...'

File "/base/data/home/apps/web2pyapi/1.339952435474722330/gluon/contrib/gql.py",
line 719, in update
    setattr(item, field, value)
  File "/base/python_lib/versions/1/google/appengine/ext/db/__init__.py",
line 472, in __set__
    value = self.validate(value)
  File "/base/python_lib/versions/1/google/appengine/ext/db/__init__.py",
line 2731, in validate
    raise BadValueError('Property %s must be a list' % self.name)
BadValueError: Property ideModelAPIkey must be a list

What is it about blank, or even [] or ['a','b'] that is not a list?

and why is google interface not providing a field for adding a list
value for that field?
