Thanks for the quick response! The action interface looks indeed interesting. I am not sure whether it is possible two have to source datasets. All the examples and also the `action:python` example has only one data set as input.

The action `summation` sounds as it could be the right thing, but it is not clear what it sums up. It is mentioned in the [documentation](https://github.com/precice/precice/wiki/Actions-Configuration#basics-and-pre-implemented-actions) as pre-implemented action, but it does not appear in the [XML reference](https://github.com/precice/precice/wiki/XML-Reference). Is this a mistake or is it not part of preCICE anymore?

Edit: Regarding summing up data from multiple input datasets. Could I have a chain of actions that write the source data into the target data after each other?

Edit 2: I also realized that I run into the problem that I technically want to map from two meshes onto one which was not well defined according to the [uekerman’s post](https://precice.discourse.group/t/two-couplings-to-one-interface-mixed-dimensional-coupling/68/2). I am not sure If I can easily workaround this using actions. I gave it a quick try, but I failed so far. ☹
