My preference form is not collecting data properly

Question

Hello all, I’m encountering a small issue with my preferences form on Klaviyo and I was wondering if anyone had come across it before.

Essentially, I have created a preference form to collect my clients’ preference in book genre, in order to send emails related to those preferences to specific segment. I have even created the segment so that one a client fills the preference form, they are automatically sent into the correct segment.

I have two sign-up forms that lead to this choice of preferences : my pop-up form and my classic sign-up page. My pop-up is working flawlessly, and distributing the clients into each segment properly. The sign-up page however, has an issue : instead of letting clients choose several picks between the choices, it only takes into account the last box they check. Here are two screenshots to illustrate what I mean. the first screenshot was taken whilst filling the form, and the second screenshot is what we see after clicking on “Save Preferences” (Valider in French).

Has anyone experienced this before ? Thank you in advance !

UPDATE & SOLUTIONHere’s an update to this situation for anyone who might find themselves in this situation. I spoke with the Klaviyo support team and they suggested several reasons this might be a problem. In the end, what worked for me is to simply create a brand new property.As my store in french-based and entirely in french, I had created a Property with some special characters (“Intérêts”). Kalvyn from the Klaviyo team suggested that the special characters in that word might be causing an issue. I created a new “Interest” property and created a brand new checkbox with new tags and this one worked wonders.I now have to update my segments to include Interest as a property but at least, I now offer my clients the possibility to pick several preferences - not just one !Thank you again to the Klaviyo support team for helping me with this !

Hi @solene.bonjour,Welcome to the Community! Happy to help!To help understand the problem a bit more, do you mind sharing if you saw this change of preferences, the second image, immediately after you hit ‘valider’ or was it when you hit ‘update preferences’, after hitting ‘valider’?Additionally, when you go to this profile, are the first three options still recorded even thought this second screen pops up?Either way I haven’t quite seen this before and will be connecting with the team to hear what our specialists have to say!-Taylor
