I would like to append to a contact’s property vs overwriting it. How can this be done? I’d rather not make a separate api call to get the contact’s current property value only to turn around and make another api call to update it with data I compose locally. Any suggestions would be helpful.
It’s not currently possible to append a value or option to a property on a contact record.

Append to a contact property?

Being able to select if we want to append the property OR update the property in a workfow for example would be fantastic! I know I have seen apend somewhere I dont recall where though.
