Merge reference values format plugin

Introduction

The format plugin “Merge reference values” will merge references from different attributes to make multi exports easier.
This format can be used on products, dam-files and user objects. In the plugin you need to choose the reference attributes that you want to export. 

Configuration

The plugin has two input fields: the record type where the references are read from and all the reference attributes that should be exported.
The merged reference values will then be treated as a single unit.

Example

For the example export we combine two media attributes. Normally, the attributes would have to be exported individually, but with this format, the connector treats the attributes as if they were a single attribute.
Then we can create a loop for this unit and thus derive both attributes.

Example configuration

Selecting “Products” as record type and then the attributes we want to merge together.
As “Format of the result value” a Loop head format is selected to access the fileName, Id and ExportURL for each product. But how the resutl value should be formatted is up to you.
