Themes: Creating and updating a custom theme

    Hello,

    I have a two-part question. Seems that an individual form will retain the CSS from a former theme that had been attached to it in the past. Because of that, I'm always fighting with styles from these other themes that still apply to my forms. How can I create a theme that has clean CSS and apply it to an existing form that has had a previous theme?

    Secondly, why can't I create a theme, apply it to my forms, and when the theme is updated all the forms that have that theme attached to it get updated as well? It's ridiculous that I have to make a new theme every time I make a change and then attach it to each and every form individually. This is so frustrating we are looking at alternatives after having used JotForms for several years.

    If you go to https://www.jotform.com/mythemes you can easily manage your themes. 

    For example:

    Again, using the themes site allows you to easily manage your themes. Note that if you set your chosen form as default, all new forms you create will inherit your chosen theme. However, this does not affect cloned forms.
