Flatten normalized data

$

I am trying to flatten out a normalized data model involving product data. I have two tables - a product table with an id field and a product_details table with a FK product_id referencing product.id. The details has multiple rows for each product id. Is it possible to flatten this so I have something like table 3 below. I looked into the Flatten step, but that seems to be based on the number of target fields specified as opposed to a key/id. Any thought on whether a row denormalizer would help?

id name
1 Product 1
2 Product 2

product_id detail
1 detail 1
1 more detail 1
2 detail 2
2 more detail 2
3 still more detail 2

id name detail1 detail2 detail3
1 Product 1 detail 1 more detail 1 null
2 Product 2 detail 2 more detail 2 still more detail 2
