How to batch tokens but combine all labels from both inputs

I have multiple Sources in a ProcessFlow that create tokens with different labels on them.

Eventually in the process, those tokens are Batched (Groupby one of the labels).

That works well BUT the resulting token only contains the labels from the left input of the Batch.

Is there a way to automatically create (on the outgoing token) the labels that were on the token from the right input of the Batch as well as the left?

I'm not taking about aggregation as I don't want to do a calculation. I just want to have all the labels from the incoming tokens on the outgoing token.

Is that possible?

I can't see a standard way for doing this.

As Matt has mentioned in another post, accessing by rank is not strictly supported - but in the absense of being able to get an array of token labels, and with the caveat that it might break in the future and in will not work (as-is) with parent labels here's an example using the release Quantity field to merge the labels.

Thanks Jason. I see it's saved in 2021. I will try it when I install 2021 which I haven't had time to do yet as I'm in a big rush to finish this project for this week. I will use the alternate method I found above which will not cause problems in the future for my customer who will be using this model. Thanks a lot.

That works great. Thanks Jason. However, since you indicated that this might not be "future proof", I don't think I will use this in a model that my customer will be using in the future.
