Updating SharePoint Column without Overwriting

Hello,

 

I have a Sharepoint List that contains two columns, column A and column B which can contain multiple person or group (so no string value, more like Teams functionnality) When column B is not empty, I would like to update column A with the value of column B without overwriting what it contains, so only append the value of B in A.

Does somebody know how to achieve that ?

 

Thanks in advance

    Hi xabouba , you can concatenate the values in field A, then use a contains expression to evaluate whether the presence of the name, e.g. contains('name in A','name in B'). You can then use an update item action to append any missing names.
