Enabling @KafkaListener to take in variable topic names from application.yml file

I am attempting to load in multiple topics to a single @KafkaListener but am running into trouble as I believe it is looking for a constant value, but initializing the topics variable from the application.yml file causing something issues, I was wondering if someone could help me troubleshoot this issue, or provide me with direction into how to load multiple Kafka topics into a single KafkaListener. I realize I could do an object with comma delimited values representing the topics, but I want to be able to add topics through a config file, rather than changing code in the code base.

KafkaWebSocketConnector.java

@Component
public class KafkaWebSocketConnector
{


   @Value("${spring.kafka.topics}")
   private String[] topics;

   @KafkaListener(topics = topics)
   public void listen(ConsumerRecord<?, Map<String, String>> message)
   {
      log.info("Received messages on topic [{}]: [{}]", message.topic(), message.value());
      String dest = "/" + message.topic();
      log.info("destination = {}", dest);
      log.info("msg: {}", message);
      messageTemplate.convertAndSend(dest, message.value());
   }
}

application.yml

spring:
  kafka:
    consumer:
      auto-offset-reset: earliest
      group-id: kafka-websocket-connector
    topics: flight-events,
      flight-time-events,
      canceled-events,
      pax-events,
      flight-delay-events
