I am trying to create an automation that adds a multiple select item to a field but I don’t want to replace it with what exists. For example, if “Troop” already existed in that column, I want to add “Cookie” so that the multiple select field reads “Troop” “Cookie”. Currently the automation replaces everything that exists so when I run the automation, it simply says “Cookie”. Any advice?

Hi @Tech_Support3.
I think you can just add both the existing item and the new item in the Automation.
In my screenshot. When updating the Field ‘Field’ I add the existing Field record and the new item from the Select.
The way to do this with the update record action is to: insert the new value first, then type a comma, and then insert the field itself.
Hi, is there an updated way to do this? I'm having the same issue as the original post but the answers seem different to what I am able to do in Airtable today. Thanks!
