When I run the following api, it added the TXT record into the Domain section but all my records was wipe off. How do I add new record on top of my existing ?
```

hello. If you are trying to set DNS while using the API function, you must add all of your DNS records into the API function in order to keep them all - including the new record. If you only add the new record to the function, you are telling our system that you only want that record to be saved to your domain.

Any chance this will be changed in the future?
