Adding multiple form submits to same field in lead database. Search Form

I have successfully grabbed the search query placed it into a non marketo form and submitted the form to the lead database with the query.  The question is: Is there a way to not overwrite the previous query once another search query is made and sent to the lead database? I want to append new search queries to the field rather than overwrite the previous submission.

Thanks

I think you can use a varient of the method mentioned here
https://community.marketo.com/MarketoArticle?id=kA050000000KzejCAC&refURL=http%3A%2F%2Fcommunity.marketo.com%2FMarketoArticle%3Fid%3DkA050000000LA9FCAW

You can have 2 fields. One field for the 'latest' search string. And the other is the main pipe delimited string of all values.
When the form is submitted, just capture it in the 'latest' value and have a flow action to append that value to the main field using the method described in above link.

Hope this helps

Hey Zach,

In addition to the method which Rajesh mentioned, it is recommended to use the 'Text' field type for the target field as this type has a much higher character limit than string.
