Describe the bug Spring Cloud Config 2.2.5.RELEASE I have an issue with the following configuration. The use of "[ is due to the > in the property name:

dms:
  standardization:  
    rules:
      "[XXX>yyy]":
        - XXX>www

An exception is thrown:

java.lang.ClassCastException: class java.util.LinkedHashMap cannot be cast to class java.util.List (java.util.LinkedHashMap and java.util.List are in module java.base of loader 'bootstrap')

By debugging the code, I see that the propertyKey is converted to dms.standardization.rules[XXX>yyy][0] which results in an IllegalArgumentException because the character after a square bracket is supposed to be a digit

Yes. It's not meant to be exhaustive because of incompatibilities between yaml and properties. If you can think of a fix that would be great, otherwise we'll see if there are others suffering from this issue.

same issue here when try to define some cors configs for spring cloud gateway, the config I try to use is:

spring:
  cloud:
    gateway:
      enabled: true
      globalcors:
        cors-configurations:
          '[/**]':
            allowedOrigins: "*"
            allowedHeaders: "*"
            allowedMethods: "*"
            allowCredentials: true
