Use Append (or Prepend) to file

Thank you for your answer but i have try this choices. Have you any other idea maybe ?

I don't see why it would create a new file unless you use magic text but you can try shell scripts to achieve that.

@Qarboz is right. What are the names of the created files (from the 1st one)?

the names is like day-month-year, for example 11/7/2023, 11/7/2023(1), 11/7/2023(2) and go on. It stops every time in file 32, 11/7/2023(32)

I guess the root name (D/M/Y) is given by you (in the Write action). The numerical suffix is created by the system.
Unless you created Read only files (for any reason), @Qarboz is the only way to append data to an original file

Can you please share with me a simple action block or macro that write to a files the current location and time. Just to test what I am doing wrong.

Here's one (of the first macros I made). Sorry if some content is in French.

I made it in a shell script because permissions are troublesome.
I think a text file with the specified file name will be created in the documents folder and can be appended each time the macro is started.

You could share part of you macro (at least a screenshot of the Write to file action) with the Configuration settings because it's really simple to write/append to a file with MD as @Qarboz told previously.

Thank you very much for your answers, i try to change the name as the number of the day and it works. so the problem maybe was the before file name i used. Maybe someone can try this and if this type of file name has problem, make a ticket for fixing ?
