Overwrite Lead Fields Through Dynamic Forms

1. Feature Overview

When a Lead Owner is filling a LeadSquared Dynamic Form, and if the lead already exists, the owner will now have the option to auto-populate the Form with the existing Lead Field details. The owner can also overwrite (or update) the existing Lead Field details through the Form submission. A unique identifier field (for example, an email or phone number) on the Form will be used to check if the lead exists.
