 * Hello,
 * i am wondering how to create an array of values in a option using wp-cli.
    I 
   can insert information into that array usign: wp option patch insert woocommerce_bacs_accounts
   0 account_name “BankAccount” I can read options from the array using: wp option
   pluck woocommerce_bacs_accounts 0 account_name
 * How do i create an array initially in a wp option?
    Thank you for your help!

 * It is not. The following command does the trick:
 * wp option add the_option2 ‘[{“foo”: “bar”}]’ –format=json
 * I did not find a way to do this without using JSON. The use of the standard wp
   option interface with add/insert/patch did not do the trick without JSON. Also
   the woocommerce cli did not support this so far.
