    When using update user meta action, why isn’t it possible to actually add user meta?
    I have a meta_key named “vjh_user_address” and I want users to be able to add addresses to this key and old values of this key remain in the wp_usermeta table.
    Is it possible?

    Sorry @pershianix , to clarify, it sounds like you want to append a value to an existing record and not replace it? We couldn’t create duplicate keys with the same user ID and have independent values, but appending could potentially be possible. Still, if we did that, how would you retrieve the records? You wouldn’t be able to easily look up “address 1” or “address 2”, as they would be concatenated. Maybe you could provide an example and we could think about approaching it? Or maybe you need multiple address keys, and the Automator recipe moves values to archive keys instead.
