API Mapping Editor - Allow query parameters with multiple values

/accounts?ids leading to
/accounts?ids=1234,5678,9999...
Currently we don't support dissecting this parameter.
A workaround would be to map the "ids" parameter to a single string in the copybook and write a short wrapper program that parses for the commas and fills the original copybook.
