Seamlessly integrate "With Items" task results into your original list. |
You're dealing with nested data structures and need to extract results from tasks ran "With Items" into your original list. You want a unified, easy-to-manipulate list that includes all necessary data.
The Process With Items Results
transform enables effective incorporation of "With Items" task results into your original list. It bridges the gap between the collected results and the original list, making your data manipulation tasks simpler and more efficient.
Parameter | Description | Required | Required |
---|---|---|---|
Base List | This is the main list to which you want your collected results to be appended. | true | true |
Collected List | This is the list of results from your completed With Items task, from which the nested result.result attribute will be extracted. | true | true |
Attribute Name | This is the name you'd like to set for the new attribute to be appended to the Base List . | true | true |
The below scenario will attempt to illustrate how the Process With Items Results
transform can be utilized to simplify With Items
results collection.
Assume we have a base list called base_list
:
base_list: [
{
name: "John",
age: 30,
},
{
name: "Mary",
age: 35,
},
]
And we ran a With Items
task against this list to collect additional data from these items that's stored in a new list called collected_list
that includes result.result
attributes like this
collected_list: [
{
result: {
result: ["golf", "reading"]
}
},
{
result: {
result: ["cooking", "music"]
}
},
]
We want to extract the result.result
list from each item in the collected_list
and append it to each corresponding item in the base_list
as a new attribute named hobbies
.
base_list: base_list
collected_list: collected_list
attribute_name: hobbies
{% raw %}
{% set normalized_list = [item.result.result for item in my_collected_list] %}
{% for list_item in normalized_list %}
{% do my_base_list[loop.index0].update({'hobbies': list_item}) %}
{% endfor %}
{% endraw %}
After processing, your results will look like this:
results: [
{
name: "John",
age: 30,
hobbies: ["golf", "reading"]
},
{
name: "Mary",
age: 35,
hobbies: ["cooking", "music"]
},
]
Having understood the Process With Items Results
transform, you're now capable of seamlessly integrating data from one list to another. Remember to carefully specify your Collected List
, Base List
, and Attribute Name
to ensure a successful transformation.
