Comma Separated Field to Child Table
I've written a connector to query a remote API, the data has come in correctly but each row can have many labels, because the connector will only create one table at a time and I don't want to query the remote API twice I've created a comma separated field.
ID, Name, Labels
1, "Hi there", "hi, welcome, hello"
2, "Over there", "over"
3, "No labels on me", ""
I want to take the comma separated field and create a child table, then I can filter by each of the labels in the cards.
ID, Label
1, "hi"
1, "welcome"
1, "hello"..... etc
Is there a way to do this in Magic ETL or otherwise?
I'm also open to any other ideas for pulling the data in if this will help.
Many thanks.

I'd recommend doing the splitting out in your custom connector and having a single row for each tag in your dataset, then you can use an ETL to group by and combine them together with a comma afterwards. It's easier to loop through all of your tags and generate one row for each tag.

Thanks, I will give that a go, I'm hoping creating a child table will maybe a feature of magic ETL in the future :-)
