Hi Josiah!
This new version works ALSO with empty tiddlers
\define append-text(tidTitle, text:"", btnLabel:"Append Text", sep:"<br>")
<$button> $btnLabel$
<$list variable="newText"
filter="[<__tidTitle__>get[text]addsuffix<__sep__>addsuffix<__text__>]"
emptyMessage="""<$action-setfield $tiddler=<<__tidTitle__>>
text=<<__text__>> />""" >
<$action-setfield $tiddler=<<__tidTitle__>> text=<<newText>> />
</$list>
</$button>
\end
