Convert List of Text to Text

So you'll need to have a For Each cycle iterating over your string list, and you may have an Assign with other Text variable where you concatenate your values:

This means that, for each string value, you will concatenate it in your TotalText variable. However, using this approach, you'll have an extra ", " in the end of your string from the cycle, so you will need to remove it (after the cycle):

Do you want to show this value to the user as an input? Or is it a label? Sorry, I didn't understand that part properly. Can you please explain it a bit further? :)

Kind regards,

Hello Felipe,

Hope you're doing well.

Do you want to concatenate all of your texts that you have in your string list to one single string, is that what you pretend to achieve?

Kind regards,

Hello Rui,

Hope you're doing well.

I have a list of type string and I want to convert it to string (with a format, example: "xpto1", "xpto2", ...), which with this I can show on the screen as an input.

Hi Felipe,

Of course we can help you convert a list of strings to a single string to put it in an input on a screen.

But can you elaborate a bit more on your use case ? If you have a list if something, why not present it as a list to your user? You say it goes into an input, so user can edit it ? And then what, try to convert users input back to a list ?
