Workflow 2013 - Update list item to not replace existing text but add to it

Question

I am using SharePoint 2019OP with a 2013 Workflow.

I have a workflow that add's a line of text to a comments box, via Update List Item action.

If there is existing text in the comment box, the existing text is deleted.

Is there a way to add to existing text via the workflow?

If you want to append the field value, just add the current field value in string builder, then fill in the required new content into the text field.
