I'm trying to figure out how someone is creating a trigger that adds a number to a variable. When I try to do it however, I am not given the option "add". Instead, I'm only given the option "set." What the heck is going on? I've attached screenshots.
Make sure the variable you want to add to is a number type. One indication you're only seeing "Set" may be because the variable you are trying to add to is a text type.
Quick note for others who might find this post. Even with a number variable, the default trigger adjustment is to Set the variable to a specific value.
However, if you click Set in the Trigger Wizard, you'll see the options for math operations (Add, Subtract, Multiply, Divide).

Hi Susan,

Hope that's it!

Hey Bob,
I feel like a fool. I had thought for sure I'd checked and made sure it was a number, but you were absolutely right, it was set as a text.
