Hey all,

I’m wondering if it’s at all possible to change/update some values in a users tracking cookie on forum submission. If the user changes their name in the form field, can this change be reflected in their cookie?

This is a bit of an extension to this question - [https://community.hubspot.com/t5/CMS-Development/Hubspot-Form-Caching-Data/m-p/353329#M17463](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/CMS-Development/Hubspot-Form-Caching-Data/m-p/353329#M17463)

Hmm… it’s not updating the cookie, but maybe what you need to do is use the [Contacts API](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/crm/contacts) on page load to get the nickname and add it to the form yourself.

I just did a test with changing the name of my test contact that is autofilled in forms. It took a long time to update in the form (which is your current issue), but when getting the info via the API it shows the updated name immediately.
