How to add value to asset atribute with saving previous information in it

[Petr Zaitsev]

We are trying to update atribute value that links apps to users and facing issue that we cant add value with saving previous ones

Hi Petr!

Are you using the "Edit Object" component in an automation for this? Because that is only meant to clear existing data and replace with whatever you want to add new.

I am sadly not well versed in REST API, so I am unsure whether you would be able to utilize it instead. But from the limited experience I have with it, that too have only replaced pre-existing data with new.

But searching around a bit, it seems like this is sadly not possible at the time and the best thing to do is to go in and vote for this issue: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSDCLOUD-11392

Best,
Tobias

yep, we use "edit object" component, but we tried to set smart values based on previous value

I was going to suggest using a Lookup Objects action to fetch the current value of the attribute into a smart value first, concatenate that with the new value then in the Edit Object action set the concatenated value.
