Forms Configuration - Copy questions, groups, tables

When configuring a form, you may have repeated groups of questions, the questions themselves are the same but need to be configured for different items. You may have a form with 5+ groups with 20 questions each - all the same. Currently you need to configure each group and each question individually. Administration time would be significantly reduced if the groups could be copied and the group names and questions within amended. 

 

Example:

Group 1 Name: Windows & Glazing

Question 1: Clean and in good condition?

Question 2: Installed correctly?

Question 3: Install date?

Question 4: Site Manager sign off

Question 5: Project Manager sign off

 

Group 2 Name: Doors & Hardware

Question 1: Clean and in good condition?

Question 2: Installed correctly?

Question 3: Install date?

Question 4: Site Manager sign off

Question 5: Project Manager sign off

 

Currently, we need to build all of this individually, it would be much easier if we could copy a group of questions and rename the group, and also perform this action on tables as well. 

This would speed up configuration time for forms as a lot of our forms ask the same questions - ideally we would build this in a table, however Field View currently will not allow data analysis in tables, so groups need to be used.

In addition, one or two questions may be different depending on what the group is focussing on, for instance, an electrical group may have "Next inspection date?" included which is only applicable to this group, so you would not want to build this as a table as every other item would not need this question answered.

    This would be very useful in creating forms and getting buy in from rest of the organisation
