Renovate is trying to pin our dotnet dependecies which are in a Directory.Packages.props file , and is failing as it is expecting the value to be an array [12.1.0] but finding just the version 12.1.0 with a message that the value is not updated and then errors updating the branch

2. Go to our minimal reproduction template repository.
3. Select the Use this template button to create a new repository based on the template.
4. Work on the minimal reproduction in your own repository.
5. Fill out the information in your repository's README.md.
6. Add the link to your reproduction to the first post of your Discussion. If you are not the original author, you can post a new comment with the link.
