Remote posting a Select field is not being sent in one field

Problem/Motivation

When using the remote post option on a webform, the select field is not being sent as one field, rather multiple.

Steps to reproduce

- Introduce a select field on your webform
- Add a remote post submission handler
- Complete form
- For example the select field "test" will be sent as test[0], test[1] .. test[N-1] for how many options are selected
- Data is received as "test[0]": "optionselected1", "test[1]": "optionselected2"..

Proposed resolution

We have introduced a patch so that data will be received as one field seperated by commas, e.g.:
"test": "optionselected1, optionselected2"

Perhaps there can be an option to enable/disable this option for each select field, but the patch works.

    I am not sure this feature is required because there is a simple workaround using custom data and a token.

    The attached form sends the below data.

    form_params:
  select_b_commas: 'one, two, three'
  select_a:
    - one
    - two
    - three
  select_b:
    - one
    - two
    - three

    Since #2 provides a reasonable solution, I am going to close this ticket
