Do Email fatigue rules apply to our internal, Account Lists?

Hi @Daniel Schmieding,
You are absolutely on the right track!
First, a little disclaimer - this is not technically a native feature, but there is a bit of a workaround that will accomplish what you are looking for.
The trick (as you guessed) is to use an Automated Program with a Change Field step that is 'set value to' and then using personalization.
I would recommend that you create a segment from your Form submission list that is 'Industry' is empty.
Then, use this segment as the source list for your AP, so that you aren't overwriting values in that column.
Finally, just push that segment through the Change Field value step and you should be set!
Please, as always, run a small test to ensure that you have everything configured correctly, so you don't have to try to undo a mass change.
Have a great day and Happy Marketing!

Hi all,
Hoping there's a solution I'm overlooking here, but so far no luck dancing around with list maintenance / auto programs, etc.
I have a list populated by a form. 'Other' is a selectable value for our 'Industry' field on a drop-down menu - if selected, another input field appears asking for clarification - this maps to the field 'Other Industry.'
For personalization purposes, I would love to find a way to map 'Other Industry' to 'Industry,' assuming Industry field is blank.
Within form / field mapping settings, it will not allow an instance of a 'duplicate field.'
Within list maintenance and automated programs, the 'Change Field / Column Value' function doesn't quite seem versatile enough, unless I'm able to use some personalization tag (like {{Other Industry}}?) within the 'Set Value To' option.
Any other ideas out there?
Thank you guys in advance,

Chris, I just saw your question. The only time email fatigue rules are suspended is during actual test messages. Any other time, fatigue rules are always in place (there's an AP setting that will over-ride fatigue rules IN a given AP, but that's a special case).
