[v4] merge 2 files with diffrent format to correct format

[kholisrag]

Hi, sorry for this stupid question

we have 2 file :

users.yaml

data:
  mapUsers: |
    - groups:
      - a-client-group
      userarn: test:user/clients-user-001

additional.yaml

- groups:
  - b-clients-group
  userarn: test:user/clients-user-999

what yq v4 syntax I need to use to achieve :

combine.yaml

data:
  mapUsers: |
    - groups:
      - a-client-group
      userarn: test:user/clients-user-001
    - groups:
      - b-clients-group
      userarn: test:user/clients-user-999

note that file users.yaml vs additional.yaml have different indent for the list / array

any help appreciate, thanks in advance!

The issue is the | in data.mapUsers means its not a list, but a string block.yq will treat those values as strings.
