• Join two layers and copy only certain fields from layer 2
• I am doing this in the processing modeler
• I enter the field names in 'Layer 2 fields to copy', for example
  

  ['field1', 'field2']

• field1 and field2 are joined into layer 1

• No field from layer 2 is copied over

• Every input into the field is treated as a string it seems. Looking at the log output from running the process I see for the algorithm that my input is transformed as follows:

Input:

['field1','field2']

Output:

'[\'field1\', \'field2\']'

I.e. it takes the whole entry as string and escapes the quotation marks. Not sure where things are going wrong. The algorithm works properly when just run on its own in the toolbox.
