I've created a custom schema element with multiple entries.  I'm trying to use GAM to add an entry to an already existing list.  

I've been testing commands like: gam update user $USER schema.field multivalue $VALUE
In this case, the value entered overwrites all existing values in the multivalue field.  

Is there a command that will add a new entry to the end of a multivalue field?  Is this a case where I need to pull all the existing entries out, then add them back in with the new value?

Show your schema, what you are trying to do should work.

Following up on this - when I use the command below, it wipes the existing custom schema entries.  The goal is to have this entry added to the existing ones.  

gam update user darius.gorganzadeh@_.com Licenses.License multivalue Asana
updating user darius.gorganzadeh@_.com...

What was the final success with this one?

There is no appending, you have to specify all the values for the field.
