The new option has been selected by default for the following fields: FirstName, LastName, Gender, Address, AddrName, SiteName, StreetNo, OnStreet, AtStreet, Unit, City, ZipCode, State, PhoneHome, PhoneBusiness, PhoneCell, and Email. The value in these fields will not be updated in the customer's profile if they were empty in the submitted feedback.
