Solution:
There is no way to create an array like this in liquid.
Instead, you can use thesplit filter to create an array from a string.
{% assign numbers = "one,two,three,four" | split: "," %}
<pre>{{ numbers | inspect }}</pre>
You can also create an empty array and feed it with thepush filter
{% comment %} +++ Creates an empty array +++ {% endcomment %}
{% assign numbers = "" | split: "" %}
<pre>{{ numbers | inspect }}</pre>
{% comment %} +++ Feed the beast +++ {% endcomment %}
{% assign numbers = numbers | push: "one" %}
<pre>{{ numbers | inspect }}</pre>
{% assign numbers = numbers | push: "two" %}
<pre>{{ numbers | inspect }}</pre>
