Reuse Forms

Question

There must be a way to make a bunch of forms on a layer that is reused in other maps (or even the same map that is reused over and over) but not bring the data that is acquired in the field into other maps in the future.

I believe this blog post addresses this but the steps do not work for me reuse forms

No one wants to recreate oft-used forms, maybe others have ideas?

I would like to be able to create forms on a grouped nested layer and then have those forms be able to be reused in their original state (without data) so that new data can be recorded on the next project and so on. Hard to explain - sorry 😉

Thanks for any help.

Field Maps designer also has a new Map Template option

For those who don't see forminfo in the item json, check the map json. I found it in the map, perhaps they changed the configuration for where the form info json is stored.

Ok - I appreciate your input and patience. I think I'm almost with you! To copy the formInfo do I just highlight and copy? and then paste like normal things - sorry - I have no experience with JSON and it looks scary to me 😉

Do I just follow the line down - I'm confused as to exactly what and how to copy on this Data tab.
