How to append the string " xyz" to the content of a tag field?

Create a new action in an existing action group and choose Format value as action type.

  • Field specifies the tag field the formatting rule should be applied to.
  • Format string must have the field placeholder for the field selected above and the string which should be appended.

Example:
If you want to append the string " xyz" to the current value of the comment field:

Action type: Format value
Field: COMMENT
Format string: %comment% xyz

You can use this also to add "xyz " in front of the tag value, combine fields or to copy one value to another field.
