preventing progressive forms overwriting records

We have been using progressive profile forms for the past year.

We have encountered a reoccurring issue with people forwarding the email and completing forms using the credentials of the original recipient. I found in a discussion previously that someone had used a token called {{form.not you}}.

If this token does exist and you have used it can you please outline the best way to implement? Or is there another way to embed a code or field so that the person completing the form has different contact information displayed they can reset the form and provide the correct contact details?

Hi Bekkah,

Look into this feature:

The doc will describe the tokens avialble in this context, including the "not you"

You might also want to look into your field manager and block updates from form fills for the Email Address field.

If someone changes the email, they aren't updating the field, they are switching the context to another lead.

Right, which is where using the {{form.NotYou}} token is helpful - shown by default in the "If known visitor" HTML - as @Grégoire_Michel suggested. Just offering an alternative idea if that's not what she was asking.

Blocking field updates on Email Address from form fills has no bearing on the problem, because that action is not being attempted.
