I think I was not clear.
Basically, I would need to Union to happen with adding a separation of level between the 2 elements unioned.

Such as:
{
field1: val1
field2: val2
}
Union to
{
content: val
}

Is generating the result as:
{
{field1: val1
field2: val2
}
{content:val}
}

So I could refer to the first part with $.1 independantly from $.2

Does this make more sense?
Thanks,

    Here is the input:

    And the result:

    So I gave you the logic for matching a correct format of an email. I you want to stop the pipeline, or throw an error, than you have to make some adjustments.

    For example:

    $email.match(/[1]+@([\w-]+.)+[\w-]{2,4}$/g) == null ? “fail” : “pass” if you want to use expressions. Other way I can think of is a Data Validator. Select Pattern as a Constraint and enter the regex into Constraint value.
