I use an attributes that it is an array.
The collector receive this attributes and i must add a new element into.

The transform with "set" update this attributes.
The insert seem not exist

Before

scope = ["aaa"]

transform/scope:
error_mode: ignore
trace_statements:
- context: resource
statements:
- insert(attributes["scope"], ["xxx"] )

After

scope = [ "aaa","xxx"]

Hi @adelbot! I think the append function would work for your use case:

trace_statements:
 - context: resource
   statements:
    - append(attributes["scope"], "xxx") # single value
    - append(attributes["scope"], values = ["aaaa", "bbb"]) # multiple values
