How to pass a field through form integration even if it is blank?

    Good Morning,


    I have a form in the system right now and it is integrated with Total Expert. Right now if someone goes in and fills out the form but does not complete all fields because they do not pertain to them, those fields don't carry over to Total Expert. 

    Can the field carry over even though it is blank?

    Thank you!

    We do not have a direct option to pass empty fields through integrations. I think you can try setting a default value to those fields. For most fields types, there should be an option at advanced fields settings:

    So if we do the advanced field, it will populate with a default if left blank?

    Yes,the field will be populated with the default value.

    To clarify, does your field calculate values?

    Can you please explain further how your form flows and calculates?

    Looking forward for your response.

    It does not calculate values - they are just question and answer but not all questions apply to all people.
