    Hi MC4WP,

    Thank you for this plugin.

    I am using the MC4WP form and this is the code:

    <p>
    
    <input id ="form-field-name" placeholder="???? ?????"  type="text" name="FNAME" required>
</p>

<p>
    
    <input id="form-field-email" placeholder="?????? ??????????" type="email" name="EMAIL" required>
</p>

<p>
    <input type="hidden" name="NL_SOURCE" value="AGZ_NL">
</p>


<p>
    
    <input type="hidden" name="CHANNEL" value="AGZ Footer NL" >
</p>

<select style="display:none" name="INTEREST">
	<option value="Gaming" selected>Gaming</option>
	
</select>



<p>
   
    <input  id="co" type="hidden" name="USER_CC">
</p>




<p>
    <input style="width:100%;    background-color: #56074f; border-width:0px" class="elementor-button elementor-size-sm" type="submit" value="????????">
</p>

    The input field with name = INTEREST is getting replaced in my Mailchimp dashboard for the same user, while it should be appended “added to pervious one”.

    The settings are set to Replace interest groups? NO | Update existing subscribers? YES

    Did you create a normal text field called “INTEREST” ?
    That would not fall under the interest group mechanism that is build into Mailchimp and would be overwritten as it’s seen as “just another text field”.

    If you are sure this is an interest group, please remove it from the form, update the plugin to the latest version, and then add it again with the button above the form builder.

    Interest group code in the form usually looks something like this:

    <select name="INTERESTS[f18170f74a]">
    <option value="deadb21b06" selected="true">Test group 1</option>
</select>

    Above the MC4WP form builder there is a separate button to insert interest groups, it looks something like this:

    Here is how you create interest groups in your Mailchimp audience:

    Once you created a new interest group, in your WordPress admin, go to MC4WP > Mailchimp and click “renew mailchimp lists” to pull in the latest fields and groups from Mailchimp so that you can add them to your form.

    Thank you for your fast response

    I think that for me it’s just a text and I can’t change this field in Mailchimp because it’s been used on our other sites(not WordPress ones).
    Is there a way that I can append text to a text filed like channels\ interest in my case with code?

    On our other websites (not WP) They’ve managed to append text values to the Channel field while it’s still a normal field not an interest group

    Hey @ehab971,

    I regret to say if it’s a text field then there is no way to append the data as it would simply update that field with the details provided in the form when using our plugin.
