 * Hi,
 * I wonder if you can help or offer any advice. Your plugin was working fine for
   the form on this page, we know because we downloaded the csv file in March and
   all fields were being recorded. Then on the 2/7/25 we edited the form making 
   the Tel Field ‘required’ and it seems that action going forward has corupted 
   the data before that date, in that the Tel and Email fields are sometimes filled
   in and sometimes not. (The email field has always been ‘Required’) Email address
   that we had in the March Export are now missing in the July export. Do you know
   of anything we can do to recover the now missing information.
 * Thanks in advance for any info you can offer.
 * cheers
