Copy a form

__MAGIC_BLOCK_0__

As noted elsewhere, you might not have a lot of reason to create a form. However, there’s at least one instance in which you could find it useful to copy a form. For example, suppose you’re planning to make wholesale changes to your editProfile form. You make your changes and put the new form into production. For some reason, however, users don’t like the new form; they want you to go back to the old form. That’s fine, except for one thing: what did the old form look like again?

That’s where making a copy of a form might come in handy. Before you start making changes to the editProfile form, make a copy of that form (editProfile_copy). If it turns out that nobody likes the new form then you can: 1) delete editProfile, and, 2) make a copy of editProfile_copy and name this new form editProfile. That should put you right back where you started.

Regardless of why you might want to do so, copying a form is as easy as completing the following procedure:

1. From the Forms tab, click the Copy Form icon located next to the form you want copied:

   

2. In the **Create **dialog box, enter a name for the new form:

   

   By default, Console creates a form name for you by appending _copy to the name of the existing form. You can keep that auto-generated name, or supply a name of your own choosing.

3. Click Save.
