We want to use multiple input fields in one output field. For example, in the services model in HSDS, there is an application_process text field. In our fixture input data, the services.csv contains multiple fields that are relevant for the application process: Application form link, Process for applying by email, Process for applying by phone``Process for applying online, Process for walk-ins. We should have a way to append all of these fields into a single output column.
This is what I'm thinking for an addition to services in mapping.yaml:
Process for applying by email
model: services
field: application_process
append: true
Process for applying by phone
model: services
field: application_process
append: true
Process for applying online
model: services
field: application_process
append: true
Process for walk-ins
model: services
field: application_process
append: true
and the append: true field indicates that these should be appended to the output field, so that all the above are added into the same text string in application_process.
