adding or appending to data value

adding or appending to data value

It would be nice to have an option to add to or append to data value.  In some cases I do not want to change or replace a data value of a field that has a picklist or categories to choose from.  It would be nice to have the ability to append or add to the data value.

I believe there is a discussion somewhere else in the Community about this.

One thing that I use that seems to work well, especially for multiple selection fields is to use a lead token. I have an email going out about a specific topic, if a lead opens and clicks that lead gets a value added to it's already existing values {{lead.FieldName}}; New Value.

Thanks Jackie. I might try using a token.  I didn't even think to use it for my particular use case.
