Does overwriting a Feature layer, destroy the Form?

Hi all,

I would really want to use Forms in the Map Viewer, however, I can't seem to find any information about what happens to the Form, if I overwrite the Web layer from within ArcGIS Pro? 

Sometimes we make changes to our layers in our database, and then overwrite the published web layers - i know that it destroys custom settings etc that I have made on the layer in the Web map, but does it also destroy the Form?

And in a related though, it seems that it is not possible to save a Form, so that it could be applied to another identical layer - is that correct?!

Thanks 🙂

I also have this question!  I have a ton of form customizations and Arcade expressions to support the Editor tool in Map Viewer, but now I need a schema change. It would be so awesome if we could save our Form customizations and apply them to other layers.

Have you messed around with AGO Assistant? I just figured out how to copy and paste the JSON form info between layers and it is incredibly helpful if you have the same form for multiple layers.

How do you do this? I have to overwrite hosted feature layers more often than I would like, and it always wipes the smart for and all the arcade expressions created for the form.
