Import Fields mapped via Column Mappings or Conditional Logic will constantly update values (when applicable). If a field is mapped and the value is left blank, the record will save that field as empty. This is especially important to remember when updating records. This behavior can be circumvented with the use of Conditional Logic. Here is an example of how to conditionally unmap a field without value.

Important Notes

When a Column Mapping or Conditional Logic maps a field, the value for that field will be used regardless of value. This means that if the value is left blank in the file, the value will be blank on the record. If you need to map a column but ignore blanks, conditional logic may be used; see the example below.

if (trim([<COLUMN_INDEX>]) !== '')

...


    [<FIELD_IDENTIFIER>] = [<COLUMN_INDEX>];
