Adding new key/value pair to existing key in chrome.storage.sync

I'm new to JSON & Chrome extension development. I have two HTML buttons namely 'Start' & 'Stop'. I have following JavaScript code:

var storage = chrome.storage.sync;

function setData(key, value) {
    storage.set({ [key]: value });
}

function onClickMarkStartButton() {
    var date = getCurrentDate();
    var start = { 'start': getCurrentTime() };

    setData(date, start);
}

function onClickMarkEndButton() {
    var date = getCurrentDate();
    var end = { 'end': getCurrentTime() };

    setData(date, end);
}

It saves

6/1/2018 : {
    "start":"16:34"
}

OR

6/1/2018 : {
    "end":"16:40"
}

overwriting the previously saved key/value pair, instead of saving it like this

6/1/2018: {
  "start": "16:34",
  "end": "16:40"
}

Any suggestions?

Change your end function to this:

function onClickMarkEndButton() {
    var date = getCurrentDate();
    chrome.storage.sync.get(date, function (obj) {
        setData(date, {
            start: obj.start,
            end: getCurrentTime()
        });
    });
}
