appendable

Able to attach

Appendable describes something that can be added to the end of something else.

The term appears most often in computing contexts, where files, data, or text may be appendable to existing content: The log file is appendable, so new entries appear at the bottom.

Outside technical use, the word is rare—most speakers would say "can be appended" instead.
