# Merge Document Fields

This script demonstrates how to merge the values of document fields.

When you extract data from a repository, the connector can produce documents that have multiple values for a single field, for example:

    #DREFIELD ATTACHMENT="attachment.txt"
    #DREFIELD ATTACHMENT="image.jpg"
    #DREFIELD ATTACHMENT="document.pdf"

This script shows how to merge the values of these fields, so that the values are contained in a single field, for example:

    #DREFIELD ATTACHMENTS="attachment.txt, image.jpg, document.pdf"
