Description
for example for UTM_source, utm_campaign, etc. via hidden fields.
if later on, the subscriber completes a second MC4WP form I don’t want the subscriber’s initial source data to be overwritten with newer UTM data.
In my plugin, I see there are only two ways to configure the update process:
- Update existing subscriber: YES
- Update existing subscriber: NO
I like to add the ability to "Update only blank fields”.

Research direction
Start by locating the settings that control whether existing subscribers are updated and the code handling hidden UTM fields during subscriber updates. Trace how the plugin sends those fields to Mailchimp. Done means an "Update only blank fields" option preserves existing UTM values while filling fields that are still blank.
