Keeping values in a form that change from one submission to the next from being overwritten each time the form is submitted

I have landing page with a form. This form can be filled out by the same person multiple times. What is the process from keeping values that change from one submission to the next from being overwritten each time the form is submitted?

With my form, I have a "text" area where I ask leads for different proposals ideas. Each lead can submit this form multiple times with different proposals. However, each time they submit the form, their info is overwritten and only their 1st submission is tracked. 

How can I have each submission not overwritten?

You can block field updates in the Admin tab. I think what you may want here is to add the new value to the existing value in the field???

Hi Alison,
You can set up a campaign to append data to the text area.

For this example, lets call your current field "Aggregate entries"

First, create a new custom field (call it "New Entry") that is also a text area. Put this new field on your form. Then set up a campaign. In the Smart List, have the trigger "Data Value Changed: Attribute is: New Entry". In the flow, have the following step:
Change Data Value: Attribute is "Aggregate Entries"
New value: {{lead.Aggregate Entires}}, {{lead.New Entry}}.

This will take everything that was in the field before and add the new entry, seperated by a comma.

Let me know if you have anymore questions.

Will
