Modify.cgi - Use old data if fields left blank?
Hello.

Been searching high and low on here for how to do this, with no luck.

When a person goes to modify their listing and forgets to re-input one of the fields, like the description for example, that field is printed blank on submission. So then I have to look at their old description and put it back in, which is a pain.

Is there a way to use the old data if a field is left blank when a modification is submitted? That way someone won't have to re-enter all their link info again (only the fields they want to change), and if they forget a to re-enter a field, it won't force the administrator to constantly add back in the missing field info.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
