Hi Kilian, I'm a little surprised you got that error. I'll see if I can reproduce on my end and see what I can come up with. Specifying on multiple lines seems like something that can be done too.
I assume you're listing a very large list of hosts with comma separation? In your environment are you not able to list via range format? i.e. node[0-21]?
