Custom built edit link does not work if the form is cloned.

    I continue to have problems with the edit link working when I clone the form.  The new form name is:  http://form.jotformpro.com/form/51728763574971

     

    I should be able to go into the Supervisor Notify email and edit the link with the form name and number and it should work.  It does not.  I keep getting an error message that says the from is not available.  I've cleared my cache and saved the form.  Here is the script I am using in the Supervisor Notify email.  The email sends OK, but the link does not work.

    http://submit.jotformpro.com/form.php?mode=edit&formID=51728763574&sid={id}&jumpToPage=25

    Would I eliminate the need to change this link each time I cloned if I made a template instead of cloning?

    Hello DThalasitis,

    It seems you have manually added the edit link instead of using {edit_link}. 

    Please be noted that if you want to add custom edit link of your form submission, the form ID needs to be actually hard coded. 

    See the example here:

    Your cloned form URL is :  http://form.jotformpro.com/form/51728763574971

    But the edit link which you are using has different form ID:

    http://submit.jotformpro.com/form.php?mode=edit&formID=51728763574&sid={id}&jumpToPage=25

    Every time you clone your form, you will have to update the edit link and change the form ID. Please use the following edit link and that should solve your problem for current form:

    http://submit.jotformpro.com/form.php?mode=edit&formID=51728763574971&sid={id}&jumpToPage=25

    Thank you!

    Preview was truncating the numbers or I did not double-check that.  I think I will be good.  Let me  try this.
