There has to be an easier way to email the output of a variable which is just a "list" of names

I have a few automatons and in many cases need to be able to include some special case individuals from the data in and email that gets sent to the team at the end of the automation.I feel like I have done this in the past easily. If I use a list variable and have it add the names to the list using a loop it works and outputs the list. But if I try to email the output of the variable it only sends the 1st name in the list. So then i tried appending the names to a string which would work great except it won't accept spaces so I can't do name+,+space to format the list as you would expect. I do have a workaround, but it seems overly complicated. I am currently using 3 string variables. One puts the names in the list followed by ,_. The next variable replaces the _ with a space. This still leaves a trailing comma space at the end of the list so a 3rd variable is used to trim those characters and then I use that 3rd variable to include in my email and that works. But like I said I have to imagine there is an easier way. Not sure why the variable won't accept ,space. I've tried using various other means to get it to accept a space but haven't found any that work yet.

Hi @OdieW ,

Can you share the current workspace?

Implode formula on the list of names worked for me, that created a string of names from the list of name strings.
