If the other answers don't get you what you're looking for you could always change the way you define local!testData to be a list of map like below.

local!testData: {
  a!map(
    section: "Item 1", 
    fullText: {
      "Data for Item 1",
      "Different data for Item 2",
      "Some other kind of data"
    }
  ),
  a!map(
    section: "Item 2", 
    fullText: {
      "Another example of data",
      "Random data like GBP 50,000"
    }
  ),
  a!map(
    section: "Item 3", 
    fullText: {
      "Data related to an event or value",
      "Adjustable by percentage of revenue",
      "Premium payable quarterly"
    }
  )
}

OK, then here is my solution. There are very simple alternatives to foreach(),

This helper expression either updates the last item in the list and concatenates the text, or adds a new section item. The created value is then passed to the next iteration by the reduce() function.

Hi harshithar688624

a!localVariables(

Hope it helps. please test it with some scenarios; let me know is it working fine

I think this can be solved using the reduce function. In a blog post, I describe how to implement such algorithms. Specifically how the create stable shared values across iterations.
