How do I add column to populated collection

[PeterMarcis]

I have a populated collection via VBO and need to create a new column in it. There is a way to do it manually, but is there a way to do by robot? When the column is added first, then it is not possible to populate it via VBO, an error occures - collection is formatted, but format does not match.

You need to use a dynamic collection for the output of the VBO action, then you won't get the error.

You can use Append Field page in the collection manipulation internal object to add an additional column into your already existing collection.

It is worth noting that the append field actions in the collection manipulation Vbo have options for text and number only. However you can amend the code stage very easily to allow you to append other data type fields onto a collection.
