Variables - Append to string variable - Not Working (Designer V1)

Sorry, folks ... was unable to sort the search answers by 'newest' ... so I have to ask ...
 
Is there an issue with this, currently?
 
When I use it it's doing just random stuff with the variable.
 
Here is my initialisation:
@{join(reverse(skip(reverse(split(triggerBody()?['{FilenameWithExtension}'], '.')), 1)), '.')}_@{variables('ListItemIdExcelFileIntVAR')}
 
So if I just simply try to append "poop" as a simple string value to the variable ... it ... well ... it doesn't append it ... frankly.
 
Then if (as the next action) I add some more complex stuff (like the following) it will add the stuff before the full stop before the original value, and after the full stop ... AFTER the original value. ... ... but it completely ignores the append from the previous (poop!) action :
_@{utcNow('yyyyMMddHHmmss')}.@{outputs('ConstantsObjCNST')?['FileExtension']}
Now ... either I've found a weird hack (doubt it) ... or something is seriously wrong!

    OK ... I *think* I see the issue ... when you append to string variable now, there is no indication of what it consists of ... I could've sworn that in previous times the test / run result showed its contents ... OK... let's blame this one on the alcohol!! XD
