How do you append to a card's description using Zapier instead of replacing the entire description?

Hi! In Zapier, I can "update a Trello card" with the submission of a Google form, but it always replaces the Trello card's entire description - I want to append each Google form submission to the end of the card description with a line break. Does anyone know if what I want to do can be done using Zapier, or with the Trello native rules automation?

Would imagine that it can be done because in a recent demo, I had a card button to serve as submit report action to add to the description of another card with timestamp ... etc. It is just a trigger and find scenario.

I'm so glad that you witnessed it happen! I just can't find the scenario that applies to it. I can only seem to replace the description, not add to it :(

Above shows parts of the zap and the card showing the append.

wow, thank you! it seems so obvious in retrospect that I should have just pasted the current description and THEN appended the new thing, sigh :) You're the MVP :)
