I am using RobotFramework-appium Library. There is a keyword "Input Text" to put the the text in edit text box. "Input Text" Keyword clears the existing text and starts writing the text from starting coordinates. Now my question is, Is it possible to write the text from a particular coordinates or Append text to the existing text?

As a work-around, you could retrieve the existing text, append your new text to that string variable, and send that string variable back to the text element. – Bill Hileman Oct 08 '18 at 17:15

You could get the text value from the text box using the Collections library:
*** Settings ***
Library Collections
*** Keywords ****
Append Value in Text Box
@{list}= create list
${get_text}= Get Text id=textbox
append to list ${list} ${get_text}
${my_text}= InputForTextBox
append to list ${list} ${my_text}
Input Text id=textbox ${list}

Is it possible to input text from right to left instead of left to right? Also, Is it possible to input text from the middle of the text box instead of inputting from the start? – Sai Bharath Reddy Mallavarapu Oct 10 '18 at 19:05

@SaiBharathReddyMallavarapu You can manipulate the test above to do most of that – AutoTester213 Oct 11 '18 at 08:37
