Append to current data value with multiple tokens?

Can someone provide the proper syntax for if I want to append data value to the end of my current field value?

Example: Product Interest => New Value "{{lead.Product Interest}}; MultiVu: {{system.date}}

Is this possible?

The syntax look Ok. But, Instead of adding the data at the end, I would suggest to prepend it. This way, if there is char limit on the field, it will have the latest values and will truncate the old values. So the toekn will look like

Product Interest => New Value "MultiVu: {{system.date}};{{lead.Product Interest}}"

It's always recommend to have a separator like semicolon (;), pipe (|) etc. it will have you to programmatically separate the old vs. new values for reporting purpose.

Hi Geoff,

Just have the 2 tokens side by side. e.g. New value: {{lead.Product Interest}} text {{system.date}}

Do semicolons mess with the syntax?

I ask because that field (in SFDC) has a set syntax with the semicolon.
