I am trying to add a new dict to an existing list of dictionaries which takes a new key and list of values.

My list of dictionary is called "options" and this is what it looks like:

```
[{'powerpoint_color': 'blue', 'client_name': 'Sport Parents (Regrouped)'}, 
{'crossbreak': 'profile_julesage', 'chart_layout': '8', 'chart_type': 'pie', 'sort_order': 'desending'}]  

```

I'd like to add a new dict to the options but I am unsure how?

I'd like to call my new dict with a Key called "fixed\_properties" and it will take a list of strings called "fixed\_elements".

I tried something like this:

```
fixed_elements = []

options['fixed_properties'] = fixed_elements

```

But i got this error: 

```
'dict' object has no attribute 'append' 

```

This is what I would like the 'options' dict to look like:

```
[{'powerpoint_color': 'blue', 'client_name': 'Sport Parents (Regrouped)'}, 
{'crossbreak': 'profile_julesage', 'chart_layout': '8', 'chart_type': 'pie', 'sort_order': 'desending'}
{'fixed_properties': ['q1','q4','q6']}]  

```

Any advice please?

Thanks.
