On multiple occasions, we have had a need to aggregate rows of data in a data designer or a rule where we wanted to flatten some string data during the aggregation into a single string array. For example:
Starting Data:
| ID | Company | Order Type | ARR |
| 1 | Acme | Software | 100 |
| 2 | Acme | Software | 200 |
| 3 | Acme | Support | 50 |
When aggregating data in a transformation group by, it would be nice if you could designate a string field to be Flatten or something like below. Even better would be to have the option to Flatten Distinct also. This way the example below would be “Software, Support”.
| ID | Company | Order Type | ARR |
| 1 | Acme | Software, Software, Support | 450 |
