Send Email Smart Service of a process variable that is a list - format

Hi all,

I currently have a process model that uses a HTML template to send a list of users, but since my list is saved in a process variable it eliminates any breaks between the names of the users. Write now when I sent the email the list looks like this:

name1; name 2; name3; name 4; name5; and so on.

But I would like to display the list in a vertical format so is easier to read for the person who is receiving the email. I have tried an expression, scripthml, but nothing seems to work. Does anyone know how can I over come this? maybe editing the template? but I dont think appian lets you iterate over a HTML template.

You can create an expression to generate a HTML bullet list from a list of text:

concat(
  "
    ",
  a!forEach(
    items: ri!items,
    expression: concat(
      "
  • ", fv!item, "
    • "
    )
  ),
  "
"
)

    Thank you so much! It worked, I had tried something similar but was forgetting the concat.
