   I'd like to take all the words shown in all the rows of a column, copy them over to a text input field, and separate them with commas. For example, a column with 4 rows, each row has a person's name. I want the text input to show John, Frank, Ed, Sam. I'm not looking to export the information to a CSV file, I just want it to appear in a text input field this way.

   I've been messing around with the Set Table Rows and Copy Fields commands, going to the first row, copying the row, and moving to the next row to repeat... but it just overwrites anything that was previously in the text input field, instead of making a list. Any suggestions?

   Sounds like you are ok with taking the data from the table row by row, so the issue is overwriting the data that already exists in the Text Input field.
   I suggest that you consider the logic that is as follows:

   Set Field 'Text Input' = 'Text Input' + comma + New Data from table

   That way the new data should be added to whatever is already in the Text Input object.
