Issue using a custom type as an array ("Cannot create unknown type")

Help
1

I have a custom activity package that defines a class by the name AdUserAttribute. There’s nothing special about the class, just a couple of auto-properties of built-in types and two class constructors.

Class 
public class AdUserAttribute
{
    public string Name { get; }
    public string[] Values { get; }
    
    public AdUserAttribute(string key, string value)
    {
        Name = key;
        Values = new string[] { value };
    }
    
    public AdUserAttribute(string key, string[] values)
    {
        Name = key;
        Values = values;
    }
}

I can use individual AdUserAttribute instances in UiPath no problem. However, one of the activities in the package takes a regular C# array of AdUserAttributes as input. Now, the moment I define a variable of type AdUserAttribute[] in the workflow, starting the workflow fails with the exception Cannot create unknown type...AdUserAttribute[].

I should also note there’s no Orchestrator involved. I’m only testing a workflow that’s using the custom activity package locally. The UiPath version installed is 2018.1.3.

What gives? I mean, if UiStudio can use a type as it is, how come using it as an array type blows up?

EDIT: Only using the array appears to suffer from the issue. Using List(Of AdUserAttribute) works just fine.

EDIT2: In UiPath version 2018.4.4 also the array works. To me, this seems like a bug in older version.
