I need a liitle help in converting the below Change node to a function node. I have many such nodes to be deployed, and hence would like to know how to do it using a function node, where replication and correction is easier. the below change node is working for me, however, i need 20 of such nodes to be deployed and if i have to change a little i need to do that again for all those nodes.. requirement; concatenate several payloads into a string by adding a delimitor and a line break after every three payload. I am using a change node with Jsonata with following expression and it works. ```auto payload[0].M00&"-"&payload[1].M00&"-"&payload[2].M00 &'
'&payload[3].M00&"-"&payload[4].M00&"-"&payload[5].M00 &'
'&payload[6].M00&"-"&payload[7].M00&"-"&payload[8].M00 &'

You could simply link call to the change node or function node or template node. then you would only need to edit one node. ```auto [{"id":"7eb9d0e6bcd5828c","type":"link
