I’m working with a workflow automation site that I think has some decently powerful back-end things available, but as I’m very unfamiliar I could use some assistance.
I am attempting to have the system write a large number of persons into a field, referenced from another app in the system. That works just fine. The issue is that if there is any pre-existing data in the field I am writing to, the system will remove it. I understand why this is happening. Please see the photo for what I am working with.
Where I am not certain what to do is when I attempt to fix this error, and this is due to my inexperience. The system will allow me to do a custom calculation, but I’m not certain how I can have the system save existing data prior to the overwrite and add it back in. This may not be possible, but I figured someone might know. Referring to the above screenshot the field “Value” at the bottom can be set to “Calc” and allows a command string to be entered. Somehow I am hopeful there is a way to set it for:
Calc=(Existing Data)+(New Data)
Without having to overwrite the (Existing Data) field.
Thanks in advance. I know this is a bit clunky, but it’s the program I have to work with.
