Describe the problem/error/question
I want to aggregate data into an xml output as file. To test this I started with the Hacker News node.
Getting 10 outputs and writing them as separate xml files works fine (upper branch in workflow). But when I try to aggregate I get problems. When trying to convert to xml and then aggregate I get JSON output which is not usable. When trying to aggregate and then convert to xml the node fails (lower branch).
What is the error message (if any)?
