• If the collection contains elements of other types besides string/numeric elements, the action will convert only string/numeric elements.

• If the user does not set a separator, the elements in the string will go one after the other. Example: The elements of a collection are: "1", "2", "3", "а".  Result: string "123a".
• If there is one string/numeric element in the collection, the action will return a string with one element. In this case, the set separator will not be taken into account.
