Fix: Automapper can't translate conversion from list list

 AutoMapper, a popular object-to-object mapping library in .NET, can automatically map properties between objects when their structure matches. However, when you need to convert a list of strings to a list of complex objects or vice versa, AutoMapper may not handle it out of the box because it involves custom logic. You can use AutoMapper's custom resolvers to achieve this. Here's how you can map a list of strings to a list of complex objects using AutoMapper: 1. **Define Your DTOs and AutoMapper Configuration:**    First, create your DTOs and set up AutoMapper profiles. You may also need to configure AutoMapper to use custom resolvers.    ```csharp    public class StringToComplexObjectProfile : Profile    {        public StringToComplexObjectProfile()        {            CreateMap<string, ComplexObject>()                .ConvertUsing<StringToComplexObjectConverter>();            CreateMap<List<string>, List<ComplexObject>>()                .Conver
