SFDC field updates

[Anonymous]

Hey all,

Probably a dumb question, but something that keeps popping up:

I was trying to make some updates to values on a select field in SFDC for role (edited a few existing values and added a few new ones). I had removed this field from a form in Marketo, thinking I'd need to add it back in after the new values synced, but they don't seem to be passing over.

Is there a magic trick to making sure these types of updates are accurately passed to Marketo? Thanks!

Hey Trask,

How long ago did you check to see if the new field values passed over? It can take a few minutes depending on your Marketo/SFDC sync schedule.

Also, I can't remember, but you might have to add in the new values to the picklist in the Marketo form after that kind of a change.

It looks like giving it a bit longer worked.

One side question...when I initially pull fields onto a form, Marketo automatically uses the first value in the picklist as the default value that shows on the form. I've manually been adding a Please Select value, but Marketo sees that as a normal value, so someone could actually submit and that would be the value that is captured.

Is there a way to do the same thing, but make sure that the form validation still works to ensure we're capturing legit data? Thanks!
