Go to the form fields and open the field configuration of the field you want to use for progressive profiling. Change to the Behavior tab; here you can configure the behavior of the fields. .. note:: We recommend to always use the email field, even though it might already be known, because Mautic uses the email as a unique identifier for contacts. Also the submit button field must be always visible because otherwise the form can not be submitted by the contact. 1. **Show when value exists**: -If this option is set to "No", Mautic checks if the value for this field exists in the database or if the value was provided in a former form submission already. If a value is found, the field won't be displayed in the form. If this option is set to "Yes", Mautic will show the field, regardless whether a value is found or not. The default configuration for this option is "Yes". +If this option is set to 'No' Mautic checks if the value for this field exists in the database or if the value was provided in a former form submission already. If a value is found, the field won't be displayed in the form. If this option is set to 'Yes' Mautic will show the field, regardless of whether a value is found or not. The default configuration for this option is 'Yes'. 2. **Display field only after X submissions**: If you have a form that you would like to use multiple times, with more fields occuring the more times a contact fills it out, while still only using a single form, the option "Display field only after X submissions" is what you are looking for. As the name already states, the field will only appear once the form hast been submitted X times. This goes hand in hand very well with the ability to hide fields if the value is already known.
