I have boolean data that is separated by commas that I’d like to split and output into separate google sheet columns. When I use the formatter text split, it keeps each split in one line and I can’t break them up. 

 

Here’s my formatter setup. I just want the first value

 

After testing, it lists each option even though I set it to only give the first option. 

 

When I go to output to google sheets, I don’t have a way to only select one of the options. It looks like the formatter didn’t do anything. 

 

It gives the same thing when I try to separate as line-items or separate fields instead of trying to only choose the first entry in the split. How do I get the formatter to split around the comma? I’m pulling this from an event registration platform called Mobilize in case that’s helpful. 

Hi ​@Derrick_OOC 

Try these Zap steps:

  • Formatter > Utilities > Line Items to Text
  • Formatter > Text > Split
    • Segment: All as separate fields

 

NOTE: Your screenshot shows an array of 3 items, where the first item value is null.
