Combine collection into one string

In my scenario, I am retrieving a value from a field in Airtable that is composed of multiple questions previously selected. I need to access this field, but every time I do, it only captures the first item and not the others in the output.

Input from field Question

Output to field Questions in another database

What should I do to capture all the listed questions in the collection?

Hey Pascal,

that’s an Array of items, not a Collection. Most likely you are mapping the first item of the array instead of the entire array. Or alternatively, you need to restructure it in something else.

Welcome to the Make community!

You can use the built-in function join to combine all the string items in the array into a single string separated by a newline.

e.g.:

{{ join(1.question; newline) }}

For more information, see the function documentation in the Help Center and do the tutorials in the Make Academy.

Here are some useful links and guides you can use to learn more on how to use the Make platform, apps, and app modules. I found these useful when I was learning Make, and hope they might benefit you too β€”
