Is there a way to append text to a parameter like 'comments'

I would like to append a piece of info like 'date_edited_sill_height_myName' to an existing parameter. This can easily be done when editing a single entity but what if I had a bulk of doors or windows to edit some of which already contained data inside the comments parameter?

Is there something like putting an asterisk before the actual text?

Asking this, making a schedule for the required entities and use comments parameter to sort by might be a way.

You could create another custom text parameter in a schedule, such as Note, in addition to Comments. Then hide both Note and Comments in the schedule and create a new field in the schedule that combines (concatenates) the value of Comments + "*" + Note , or similar.

A Dynamo graph could be created that would take the current value of the text parameter, append the desired additional characters, and put the combined value back into the parameter.

 

However, I am not aware of any way to do that when selecting multiple objects in the Revit interface unless they all have the same initial value.

@Alfredo_Medina Sorry to bother you again after almost a year but have you put your solution to a test. The reason I am asking is that I cannot get it to work: Revit keeps complaining about 'Improper use of boolean expressions.' Did you use some special developer version? Just like using text parameters inside a family.

Rereading my initial question, I found is very much beyond Dynamo or schedules as it concerns the actual entering of values into the properties window. If you select elements in Revit, the properties window will shrink the values displayed to those common in the whole selection. If a property is a parameter that more than one of the selected elements have but differ in value, Revit will still show the parameter but display its value as blank. Editing this seemingly blank value will overwrite anything that may already be contained in one or many of the properties. Perhaps some readers remember what adding further paths to your %path% environment variable is like: If you put %path% semicolon before your addition it will be added and otherwise just set to your addition.
