This guide shows how to clone an existing form into your Jotform account. Cloning Jotform forms give the best results. For non-Jotform forms, the system will try its best to recreate the form — you can customize the form in the Form Builder afterward.
Notes
- Jotform form owners can choose to prevent other users from cloning their forms — indicated by the “Unauthorized request” message that appears when cloning the form.
- Cloning creates a new form in your account which counts toward your total form count.
To clone a form into your account
- Copy the URL of the form that you’d like to clone.
- Go to My Forms and select Create Form in the upper-left corner.
- Next, select Import Form.
- Now, select From a web page and paste the form’s address in the Enter URL field.
- Finally, select Create Form at the bottom.
You will be redirected to the Form Builder afterward where you can start working on your newly cloned form.

Hi!
If I clone a form, will the newly cloned form have its own link/URL, or will it share the link/URL of the original form.
Also, weird, but that profile pic is not me. It might be the person who was before me and whose email address I inherited. Can you please delete it?
Thanks!

Is there a way to have an "Add Image" button at the bottom of the form instead of requiring users to input a specific number at the start of the form?

Can I please schedule a call on cloning a Form?
I have cloned two ways - one from the URL and also from the Form options. However. in each case it brings up the existing PDF - which I want to change. Is this possible?

I've tried to do this today and the other user is getting a message 'Unauthorised request. You do not have access to this form'. In my account the form is enabled, published and set to allow cloning?
I have also tried adding the form as a template to the Jotform community but it does not appear there after I have shared it. It is in My templates but not found via a search in the templates via the account I am trying to share the form with so they can amend it to build their own survey from this one - the idea is to avoid them starting from scratch but this is proving very difficult!

My form will not import from a website so I can make a clone. I have done this before so I’m not sure why it’s not working. I’m copying and pasting the direct link of the jot form I want to import them clone. Thanks!

I keep getting this error message when I am trying to clone an existing form from one of my Jotform account to the other. Help!
"Unauthorized request. You do not have access to this form" ==> I am not sure what I should click to give myself access from the other account.

Thank you but I meant only clone some of the form---not all of it. We have some complex forms with over a hundred question elements....when I only want a few....do I have to clone and delete what I don't need or can I copy just what I need?

I was able to get this to work, but the other user doesn't have access to the PDF's associated with the form. When they go to PDF editor, there's nothing there :(

hello there,
I've been off the air for a couple of weeks, getting back into all this fun stuff now :)
I can't tell you all how much your assistance is ALWAYS appreciated, I hope you all get LOTS of sincere THANK YOU's.
GENERAL QUESTION : Often, the responses I receive include a video showing what to do.
Is there any way to slow down the playback speed ?
I hope so . . .
My HUGE thanks, as always.

I added a new product to my store. Now I need to create the order form and add it to the store. I haven't done this before and have a simple mind. Help!
1. Can I hire someone from Jotform to add the form?
2. If I create the form using Jotform, how so I get it to connect to the right product?
Your help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!!
