There is no option to append in the "Select action Type" dialog drop down menu, it starts with "Case conversion", I see no Append option there? ![:unsure:](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/1X/cfaeba84fe6704387c5b34dfdd8172bd51b6f533.gif ":unsure:")

To append something to a given field, you could use a 'Format Value' action with the original field value repeated within the format string. As in this example:

_Action type:_ **Format value**  
_Field:_ **ALBUM**  
_Format string:_ **%album% (%year%)**
