Altering Properties UI Changes Single Line Items to Multi Line

Steps to reproduce

Setup YAML like so:

---
tags: Testing
checkbox: false
---

Alter the checkbox property via the UI

YAML is now altered to:

---
tags: 
  - Testing
checkbox: true
---

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? Y

Expected result

It should switch the checkbox value but ultimately leave the tags single item alone. Single line items are valid YAML and arre not considered to go against the standard convention.

Actual result

It moves the single line item tag into a multi line format which is frustrating as all of my daily notes only have a single tag and are being formatted without my knowledge.

This issue is solved by using the Linter plugin and it assigns single items to single line, and multiple items to multi line, but Obsidian altering it in the background is causing issues with my process. I must lint after every properties UI change to keep a consistent format and this is not ideal.
