FYI: I've submitted a feature request for triggers that would allow adding text (before or after current value) instead of just setting/replacing text. You can submit a feature request here: https://access.articulate.com/support/contact/feature-request
- Submitting a request doesn't guarantee that a feature will be implemented. But how many people request a feature could have some impact on the decision-making process.
