Yes, it is possible to transfer existing data from a separate field into the GDPR fields in Webflow. This can help you avoid the tedious task of manually updating the information for hundreds of contacts. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Go to your Webflow project and access the CMS (Content Management System) section.
  2. Create the necessary GDPR fields in the CMS to store the relevant contact information, such as consent status, date of consent, etc.
  3. Export the data from the separate field that you want to transfer into the GDPR fields. You can do this by exporting the CMS data as a CSV file.
  4. Open the CSV file in a spreadsheet program like Excel or Google Sheets.
  5. Create new columns in the spreadsheet corresponding to the GDPR fields in Webflow. For example, if you have a "Consent" field in Webflow, create a new column titled "Consent" in the spreadsheet.
  6. Copy and paste the relevant data from the separate field into the corresponding GDPR fields in the spreadsheet.
  7. Save the modified CSV file.
  8. Go back to your Webflow project and access the CMS section.
  9. Import the modified CSV file into the CMS. This will update the data in the GDPR fields for each contact in your Webflow project.

By following these steps, you can efficiently transfer existing data from a separate field into the GDPR fields in Webflow. This approach can save you time and effort in manually updating the information for a large number of contacts.
