How can I append a field to the body field?

I have a content type (Press releases) with three fields: field_date, field_location, and body.

I am trying to create a template override for this content type based on this design.

As you can see in the image, the date and location fields are appended to the body field.

I have tried adding all the fields in a single <div> and setting its display property to inline, but nothing has happened.

This is the code from the template override.

<div class="press-releases-body">
  {{content.field_release_date}}
  {{content.field_location}}
  {{ content.body }}
</div>

What template is this? If the layout is affected by CSS/HTML you don't want, it's likely that your template is picking up other templates "down the chain" (for example, a node type template is pulling in field templates).

For a formatted text field I would append the field data in a preprocess hook so that you can add the text within the enclosing field template and also remove the <p> tag Ckeditor adds automatically to the content of the field:

function mytheme_preprocess_node__press_releases(&$variables) {
  /** @var \Drupal\node\NodeInterface $node */
  $node = $variables['node'];
  if (isset($variables['content']['body'][0])) {
    $body = $variables['content']['body'][0]['#text'];
    $body = preg_replace(['#^<p>#', '#</p>$#'], '', $body);
    $date = $node->field_date->date ? $node->field_date->date->format('Y-m-d H:i:s') : '';
    $location = $node->field_location->value;
    $body = $date . ' - ' . $location . ' - ' . $body;
    $variables['content']['body'][0]['#text'] = $body;
  }
}

Then you don't need to configure the two appended fields in the display settings and it's not necessary to change the twig template.

how to implement an empty check for the location and date field before running this code

I've already included a check for the date field to avoid a PHP error trying to run a method on NULL . The location value property returns NULL without error. For further logic you can then test both variables in `if (!empty(...)) {`

Patrick Kenny is, most probably, right about templates "down the chain".

Copy your_site_directory/sites/default/default.services.yml

as your_site_directory/sites/default/services.yml

and modify it to enable twig debug:

parameters:
  twig.config:
    debug: true

Clear the caches and inspect what templates you should target.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
