DistributionPointName does not support array

Hi,

"Specifies an array of names of distribution points" andtype is string.
I have tried all sort's of array's and is unable to make this work.

Example:

This works:
Get-CMDeploymentPackage -DeploymentPackageName "BIOS Update - Lenovo ThinkStation P340" -DistributionPointName "DP1"

This does not work:

Array's tried =

DP1,DP2
"DP1,DP2"
'DP1,DP2'
"'DP1,'DP2'"
$DPs = @("DP1,DP2")

Get-CMDeploymentPackage -DeploymentPackageName "BIOS Update - Lenovo ThinkStation P340" -DistributionPointName Array

Thanks @HermanGB for the feedback. I've unfortunately found various instances where a description refers to an "array" when the parameter clearly doesn't support it. In this case, as you noted, since the type is String and not String[] then it only supports a single DP. I'm making updates for the 2203 content so I'll make this change.
