**Chatbot 1.2**. introduces AI powered User Fields collection as an _experimental_ feature.

If a User has some Optional User Fields that are currently blank, enabling this setting, will cause the bot to start asking the user for the information. It will progress through the outstanding User Fields until they are completed and then revert to normal behaviour.

(sorry for slowness of response - this was recorded in dev)

NB This feature only supports:

- Text
- Dropdowns
- Confirmations

Multi-select is not yet supported.

The fields must be _optional_

The order of the User Fields determines priority.
