Split 'Array' cannot be appended to the variable

Posted on by 3tsolutions 94

Hello,

I used the split function (used several times without problems) on a text string divided by the | character
The process is blocked by reporting

"The action type 'AppendToArrayVariable' only supports values ​​of types 'Float, Integer, String, Boolean, Object'."

From the error notification it is evident that the vector is made up of text strings; so i don't understand why the process stops.

 

This is the function:

split(outputs('MultiRow'),'|')

 

If anyone has a suggestion .. Thanks

    The problem is, that Split() creates an array, but you can't append an array to an array with the Append to array function.

    You can either use Compose and the Union() function or put the output of the split() function into an Apply to each and append the values with the Append to Array action.
