Join Function for Automation Rules
A new function has been added to the automation rules to provide more flexibility when working with strings. The Join function creates and returns a new string by concatenating the elements in an array, separated by commas or a specified separator string.
One example of usage for this new function is the possibility to write comma-separated array elements to a note as a list, where all elements are written on a new line. Even though in principle this was already possible by replacing the separator by a newline, this method would fail whenever the separator (a comma, for example) was used within the original array.
In the following screenshots, an automation rule that produces output with three methods: ‘cis’, ‘replaced’ and ‘joined’ is shown. ‘Cis’ shows the array as a string with the original separators. ‘Replaced’ replaces the separators by newlines, and ‘joined’, using the new function, joins every array element with a newline.
This automation rule produces the following output in the Staging environment:
