Convert string list to convert to Array list (Get Catalog in Flow Designer)

[Anish Reghu]

Dear all,

There is a HI reference which mentions that The Get Catalog Variables action returns a list collector as a comma separated string rather than an array.

And the resolution suggested is to - Create a custom action that uses a string as the input, parse the string into an array, then outputs the array to be used in the For Loop. 

Can someone suggest how do I achieve this?

What goes into Input Variable? How to use that in a script? How to return the processed values into the Output variable?

I am creating the Flow Designer custom action for the first time and I am not an expert in scripting.

Regards,

Anish

Attempted this, but I am not able to use step 2 in the for loop (the Group record) as she has called it in the solution.

The Group record is greyed out for selection in the For loop.

And here is my step 1 and 2: (Request group membership is the catalog item)

Goodness, noticed it just while taking the screenshot, Look up Record, the culprit - should be Look up Records instead. Thanks for referring to the thread Ankur.
