Transform a list to seperated string

Function: Transform a list to seperated string​

This action allows you to take a collection of individual items (a list) and combine them into a single piece of text. You can specify a character or phrase to place between each item as they are joined together. This is useful for creating formatted strings from data, like generating a comma-separated list of tags or constructing a file path.

Input,

  • List: The collection of values or items you want to combine into a single text string.
    • Type: List of values
  • Separator: The character(s) or text you want to insert between each item from your list when they are joined. For instance, if your list contains ['Apple', 'Banana', 'Cherry'] and you use , as the separator, the result will be Apple, Banana, Cherry.
    • Type: Text

Output,

  • Result: The new, single text string created by combining all items from your list using the specified separator. This combined text will be stored in a variable that you name.
