Create templates from configured Field Maps forms

[RebeccaHavard]

Hi ESRI Community,

When using Field Maps, I need to be able to create and export a template of my configured Field Maps forms for multiple layers in a hosted Feature Layer to apply to each new project.

We create a Field Maps app for each field project we undertake. At the moment, I can duplicate the Feature Layer our field team needs to use to collect data and create a project-specific web map but when I move to Field Maps designer I have to rebuild the form for every layer every time. This is a time-consuming and repetitive task. It would be really beneficial to be able to export a template of the configures 'master' form and apply it to each new project. 

Many thanks,

Rebecca

In a recent conversation with ESRI tech support about this, I was told that it is not currently possible but would be submitted as a suggested enhancement. That means the more of us register a desire/need for this feature, the more likely it is to be developed.

Any news on this? @ESRISupport 

I am having a similar issue over a year with this. It seems like we should easily be able to create fieldmaps forms as templates and then duplicate/add them to new maps for new projects with slight modifications!

Hi Rebecca, I have a similar situation. I cobbled together a notebook that uses a web map as a workspace to copy information around from layer to layer, and then save the changes back to the layer. Shared here if you want to use it.
