Hi Michael,

1. Copy the entire first source OBX to the first target OBX
2. Loop over the source OBX group
3. In the loop, if the loop key is greater than 1, append the source OBX 5 value to the first target OBX 5 with a preceding delimiter

It should look something like this...

If the source is...

OBX|1||||Alpha|
OBX|2||||Bravo|
OBX|3||||Charlie|


Then your target will output as...

OBX|1||||Alpha Bravo Charlie|
