LIST_FROM

LIST_FROM:
  arg: { arg } # required
  separator: { separator } # required

Description​

The LIST_FROM operation converts a Text or Bytes string into a List by splitting the string using a specified separator. This is useful when you have a comma-separated or newline-separated string that you need to evaluate as an ordered list where duplicates are significant.

Parameters​

  • arg (Operation<Text | Bytes>, required):
    • The string value to be split into a list.
    • This should be an operation that resolves to a Text or Bytes value.
  • separator (string, required):
    • The character or string to use for splitting the arg string.

Return Type​

List

Examples​

  1. Creating a list from a newline-separated string, preserving order and empty elements:

    LIST_FROM:
      arg:
        FIELD:
          path: CA10__logData__c # Assume field contains "event1\nevent2\n\nevent1"
      separator: "\n"

    This operation will return a list containing ["event1", "event2", "", "event1"].
