Hi,  
  
  
  
I have a basic question concerning the lead fields. i wonder if it is possible to **increment a custom field** (number) for a specific user.  
  
For example, I create a “my personal points” field with a default value of 0. When user access a page, I want to increment the point.  
  
I’ve created a new field with number format, and I have tried to increment it in a campaign with a value of “+50”, but field is update, not increment.

thank you

Mautic has only one point scale. It wont increment points in a custom field. It is an interesting idea though. If you get a chance, please add your idea as a comment below this feature request:

Hi,

I have a basic question concerning the lead fields. i wonder if it is possible to [b]increment a custom field/b for a specific user.  
For example, I create a “my personal points” field with a default value of 0. When user access a page, I want to increment the point.  
I’ve created a new field with number format, and I have tried to increment it in a campaign with a value of “+50”, but field is update, not increment.
