Maybe this is simpler than I realize, but at the moment it isn't obvious to me.

I'm trying to ADD a note to a user property without replacing it. In the possible options for updating a user, one can only remove the property/value, or replace the value.

The example here is that I want to append a note to whatever currently exists in the notes field, not replace it. So, if I change the name of user, Adaxes will update the notes field with the current date time stamp with this custom note. All of the existing information remains inside the notes field.

This is actually quite simple.

As you can see you can update the notes field with the following info:

%notes% "new text you want to add"

Hello,

odsven has got it right. If, when updating a property, you want to add some information, but leave the existing value intact, you need to insert a value reference for the property. The only thing is that the value reference for Notes will be %info%, because the LDAP name of the property is info.
