    Hi,

    You will need to use the “Overwrite Existing” option -> Set it to YES when you add a new field.

    Hi Teodor,

    doesn′t this delete existing values of the fields? I want to assign the existing meta fields but keep their values of course. The german description (saying ‘fields with the same meta name will be overwritten – use it at your own risk’) of the field is a bit confusing and alarming.

    This question may sound a bit dumb, I just want to be sure not to lose any data.

    Thank you

    Sascha

    Hi,

    First please make a back-up of your database.

    If the field with the meta name was an input filed, in Profile Builder you will need to add also an input field. If that field was a checkbox and in Profile Builder you added the meta name inside a different field type it could not work and this will delete the values.

    Create a test field, add a value and a meta name, and use that meta name inside a field made with Profile Builder to see if everything is working correctly.

    This seems to work fine!

    Thank you, Teodor.
