Function definition: (Copy & paste into FileMaker's Edit Custom Function window)

Case (
	_list = "" and _value = "" ; ¶ ;
	_list = "" and _value ≠ "" ; _value ;
	_list ≠ "" and _value = "" ; _list & ¶ ;
	Substitute ( _list ; "¶" ; "" ) = "" and _value ≠ "" ; _list & _value ;
	True ; _list & ¶ & _value
)

Appends a single value to a return-delimited list, whether the list is empty or not. Unlike FileMaker’s built-in List function, it preserves empty values.
