Can we add Arrays to the transforms we can do in events? I would be nice to simply tell the transform I only want the value or only want the text of each array element, not the rest of it…

either from an SQL query or barcode scan (session.props.device.barcode array), allow me to bind the text of a label, add a transform format, and only pull in the value(s) instead of all the information in the array… perhaps in the select format type? datetime, numeric, or array(potentially new…)?

(Although, maybe this is accomplished in a different way and I just haven’t gotten there yet…)

Hi Brian,

We’re working on adding some expressions that will help with this.

Thanks!
