As others have mentioned, there are multiple ways to accomplish this. However I believe the jinja method is much easier than the others. In your situation the jinja doesn't need to build the payload, it just needs to create a loop.
The regex step uses the value from the updated record in step A ("copy_count" in my example) to generate the loop:

I helped a fellow community member troubleshoot the regex on Discord. This was the REGEX that got their Pipeline to work: ([^;]+)
Here is another way to use jinja with a namespace, which is a helpful approach sometimes (but not always necessary). Just another way to crack the nut.
Then you apply the same REGEX to the string printed from the namespace.
