≪ Previous: How can I query the enumNames for an enumAttr?

First, you need to get the existing names:

string $enumAttrs = `addAttr -q -enumName "myNode.myEnumAttr"`;
"enumA:enumB:enumC"

Then you can append your new attr to those names, and add:

string $newEnumName = "enumD";
addAttr -e -enumName ( $enumAttrs + ":" + $newEnumName)  "myNode.myEnumAttr";

Same thing in Python:

import maya.cmds as mc
enumAttrs = mc.addAttr("myNode.myEnumAttr", query=True, enumName=True)

newEnumName = "enumD"
mc.addAttr("myNode.myEnumAttr", edit=True, enumName='%s:%s'%(enumAttrs,newEnumName))
