# Below are three ways of appending a field to the end of a paragraph.
# 1 -  Append a DATE field using a field type, and then update it:
paragraph.append_field(aw.fields.FieldType.FIELD_DATE, True)
# 2 -  Append a TIME field using a field code:
paragraph.append_field(' TIME  \\@ "HH:mm:ss" ')
# 3 -  Append a QUOTE field using a field code, and get it to display a placeholder value:
paragraph.append_field(' QUOTE "Real value"', 'Placeholder value')
self.assertEqual('Placeholder value', doc.range.fields[2].result)
# This field will display its placeholder value until we update it.
