Using INPUT function

[Enzo_Zoncheddu]

Hello, I would like to be able to use the [_INPUT] function in an action by appending a new value to a predefined text value. I tried inserting the default text on "Default value" but this is not taken into consideration...
Thanks for the replies.

To append an input text to an existing value in "note" column, use CONCATENATE(), like:

CONCATENATE([note], [_INPUT].[Descrizione]),
or simply: [note] & [_INPUT].[Descrizione]

Thanks for the answer Joseph 🙂 actually if on "Notes" I already have a value the whole thing works...
But if I start from an empty field and want to add the description you find on "Advanced"/"Inputs"/"Default Value" plus a value entered manually with [_Input]?
I couldn't find the right "combination" 😞

It is either the default value, or a value manually entered by the user (or through automation); I don't believe you can get both at the same time. 

You might instead consider having a virtual column to concatenate a preset text plus the value collected by your INPUT action.
