 * Hi. I’m using the plugin to update custom posts with custom fields (created through
   acf pro). Mapping form fields to custom fields works fine, however if I leave
   a form field blank it overwrites the custom field removing the old data. Ideally,
   it would leave existing field data intact. Is that possible?
    Thanks, Rhys

 * Hi Rhys,
 * I just released a new version 1.1.1 that adds “Update only non-empty fields” 
   option for meta-fields. That should work as you described it.
 * Let me know if there is anything else!
 * Have a nice day
