My python code in Automated Action seems to be incorrect

Question

Currently, I have one of the following text conditions in a field (char) called next_step:
Awaiting Stock
Awaiting Delivery
Awaiting Customer info

I want to create an automated action to update the next_step field value to be what ever is currently in the next_step field to + ", Register Payment", when certain action occurs.

I've set the python expression to be
next_step = next_setp + ", Register Payment"
But I'm triggering an error saying the = symbol is an invalid syntax.

Anyone can share s

Hi Chrisy,
It makes it so much easier to anwser your question when you post your entire code.
I think the error is not per se the = symbol but the error is somewhere else.
But i prefer string editing this way. because it makes it easier to do formatting.
if record.next_step == "something":
​next_step = "%s, Register Payment" % record.next_step
