We are trying to concatenate two arrays, tried the concat, append to list w\\MNI, joinarray without success....is there an easy function to turn two lists {a,b,c} and {1,2,3} into {a1,b2,c3}? The arrays are multiples within CDT's and we're combining a text array with an integer array. Our concat & append to list arrays show results like {a123, b, ....}.....thanks for suggestions....

Just paraphrasing what Siva has provided above.

You will need two rules. First rule's definition will be ruleInput1 & ruleInput2, where ruleInput1 and ruleInput2 are single valued inputs. Let's call this rule Rule1.

Your second rule will have the following definition - apply(rule!Rule1, merge(arrayInput1, arrayInput2). Let's call this rule Rule2

arrayInput1 and arrayInput2 are the rule inputs and can accept multiple values.

If arrayInput1 is {a,b,c} and arrayInput2 is {1, 2, 3}, calling Rule2(arraInput1, arrayInput2) should return a1,b2,c3

Please follow the link and create parameters as mentioned. In Appian, parameters to expression or interface rules are called rule inputs.

https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/19.4/Expression_Rules.html#add-rule-inputs

Hope this helps.

Hi kumaru, you will want to create a new post with your specific use case. As this thread is 8 years old, some of the recommendations such as apply() have been superseded, and some of the practitioners here may not even have active accounts on the community any longer.
