Duplicate form

Duplicate form

I did a search and found the following on how to duplicate a form -

Right now it is not possible to duplicate a form directly. However, it is possible to do so via script.


  • Click on "Edit this Application" and navigate to the particular form.
  • From the top strip displaying the Form name, mouse over on "More Actions" and click "Form Definition".
  • You will be redirected to the Script tab displaying the form's configuration in Deluge Script.
  • From the left pane, from under "Form Definition", click on "With Action".
  • Copy the entire code snippet
  • From the "Select Form" in the top left corner, select "New Form"
  • Paste the copied code snippet.
  • Since a form with the name form xyz already exists, give the form some other name. The forms can have the same display name though.
  • Click on "Save Script" to save the form.
Like a lot, it seems, here in Zoho, there seems to be steps left out -

I can copy the script without problem but when I create a new form and name it a different name, up comes the window where one normally drags & drops to build a form - there is no way to paste the script I have copied there.

If I go to "script" the place where the "normal" script is located will not one paste into it either.

If I go to "more actions" and "form properties" and "on add" I can't paste there either.

If I go to "more actions" and "form definitions" an "with actions, just as I did to copy the scrip, I can paste there.

However, after "saving scrip" and going back to "forms" and clicking on the form I just duplicated, nothing is there.
