Batch tokens using multiple groups

When using the Batch activity in a process flow, it is possible to group tokens by a single attribute. However, you can only group by one attribute at a time, whereas I have encountered situations where it would be helpful to group by multiple.

This question has an answer that suggests a workaround of combining multiple labels into a single string. The workaround works, but it is very far from ideal.

If you put all your attributes in an array, you can batch by that array; each unique combination of values will be batched together. List Partitions can also use array values.

BatchByArray.fsm

The Batch UI doesn't seem to display Array values very well. I'll add a case to the dev list about that.

Your request enhances a software tool and make it more complex. There are other processes you can build to achieve the same with more activities. I would use under such conditions an approach to evaluate a list and collect a batch in a sub flow structure. I know such a process structure doesn’t look anymore clean and simple as a single activity, but if you have to document a logic, then a set of more activities makes it easier, because you can refer to the process flow activities visual logic.
