Create duplicate of questions/groups within form designer

When developing forms with similarly structured questions or groups of questions, it would save a lot time to be able to duplicate the question/group and make minor changes as opposed to recreating it.

    Hi Betsie

    This wasn’t to duplicate a form. If I ask a series of questions such as

    * Gang name
    * Number of Operatives in gang
    * Task carried out
    * Measure
    * Task type – priced works / additional works
    * Photographs of work
    * Comments

    It would be good to be able to repeat this series of questions for additional gangs / tasks using the + button against the group of questions. This would then allow our commercial team to use the analysis tool in classic FV. We would not want to just keep repeating this series of questions within the form as we do not know how many gangs will be working on a particular contract.

    Hope that helps.

    Regards

    Hi Betsie I am aware of the duplicate forms feature which has been around for a while. What additional functionality will the enhancement provide?

    What I meant in my original post was the ability to duplicate questions, groups or tables within the form itself. So for example if I had set up a group with a set of questions/tables and I needed to create another group with the same structure of questions/tables, the only option currently is to recreate everything from scratch, as opposed to being able to duplicate the already constructed group.

    Hi there.  It sounds like you might be talking about duplicating forms.  If that is the case, I have good news we are about to launch the enhancement.  Would you confirm please?
