We have recently required users to be logged in to access member-only discounts when booking events.
We are finding that some people are logging in and then booking on behalf of a colleague. They don't book for / attend the event themselves. They're currently missing the "Not X, or want to register a different person?" link at the top of the booking form.
So they are overwriting their own pre-filled details in the profile.
When they submit the form, eg at: https://culturalenterprises.org.uk/?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm%2Fevent%2Fregister&id=288&reset=1
it then updates some details. Most commonly it will update the title, and email, but leave the contact first name and last name unchanged.
Is there any way I can stop CiviCRM from doing this on event registrations? When I look at the profile settings it is set to update the matching contact when it detects a duplicate, and I'm wondering if that's what is at issue here. (Though obviously I don't want to turn that off!)
I am guessing that this is intended behaviour as CiviCRM assumes the logged in use is providing updated information for themselves?
Thank you
