Exploring ControlUp Workflow: Guidance on Merging Data
A user asked for guidance in their ControlUp Workflow, which involved retrieving data from Intune and ControlUp Desktops and merging it into a single array using the Union action. They had several questions about the process and whether they needed to explicitly convert the results into arrays, iterate through the lists manually, or use the output arrays from previous actions. The user also asked about how to specify matching based on serialNumbers. Another potential approach was suggested, but the user preferred a cleaner array-based solution.

No specific solution was provided in the discussion.

The user also asked if the action library will be fully functional in the web at some point.
