If you have selected Allow sales user to update or overwrite lead fields of inaccessible leads in the Advance Configuration Settings, then you can select from the three overwrite mechanisms for the Lead Fields on Form submission –

  1. Update All Fields – This will update all the Lead Field values that are present in the Form post the Form submission.
  2. Do Not Update – This will not update any Lead field value post the Form submission.
  3. Update If Empty – This will update Lead field values that are empty at the time of Form submission. 
Note: Permission Template settings will be respected first when overwriting any Lead fields on the Form. If a Permission Template defines a Sales User cannot update Lead Fields, then the field values will be read-only after auto-populating.

When an existing lead is recognized on the Form through a unique identifier field (For example, an email or phone number), the Sales User will be presented with an option – Would you like to fill field values? Yes | No. You can hover your mouse over View Details to preview the lead details. Click Yes to auto-populate the fields. On successful Form submission, an Opportunity will be created on the existing lead, and the existing Lead Field details will be updated according to the overwrite mechanism you have specified.
