In some instances, you may want to test something in your form or make slight modifications for a different purpose. However, doing so creates a risk of breaking your working form. In Jotform, we provide a handy way to clone/copy a form from your account to avoid these possible risks. The cloning creates the same form within your account with most of its basic settings.
Inline Clone Option
The inline clone form option is the easiest and quickest way to clone an existing form from your account.
- Go to your My Forms page.
- Search and hover or click the form you wish to clone/copy.
- Expand its More menu.
- Click the Clone option under the Form column.
- You should be redirected to the form builder with cloned form.
Clone by Clicking the Create Form Button
- Go to your My Forms page.
- Click the Create Form button.
- Select Import Form.
- Choose Clone your existing form.
- Select the form you want to clone from the dropdown.
- Click the Create Form button to finish.
Notes
- Cloning a form will only create a copy of the form, not the submissions. If you wish to copy the submissions, export and import them instead.
- Our system will count the cloned form towards the Form Limit of your account, and cloning is not possible if you’ve already reached the Form Limit.
- The form builder will clone most of the basic settings like Emails, Conditions, and the Thank You Message, but not the Integrations.

After you clone a form and make changes, how do you save changes made, such as the wording in the email and who the email is returned to? I have to change this every time I want to send out a form.

I set up a personal account to use as a trial and created a form. I now want to use that form as a starting point on a different account. Can I share my form with the other account so I can pick up where I left off without starting from scratch?
Can you clone a form specifically to create a new version of it? Or will that mess up the new form by always looking back to the old one? I want to create a parent version of a student form, they are similar but not identical. Cloning might save me some time.

The cloning feature is a bit odd.... I want to COPY a form but not have the changes reflected back to the form I copied. It would be nice if there were a menu option for this.

Hey guys, would love to see a feature to clone multiple forms at once. Similar to if you were to copy a folder on your computer that has 12 files in it, I'd love to be able to copy a folder of pre-existing forms.
I use the clone form method, then change the form name at the very top and in the header, all the necessary information, but when a client opens the form the internet tab still shows the old "cloned form" name. How can I fix this?
I have cloned a form but the tab in my browser is still saying the same thing as the form that I cloned. I have cleared the form cache but that hasn't made any difference. How can I change this?

I would like to clone a form on my laptop in word. Is this possible?
When I clone a form and publish it the link shows "Clone of"...... I cant seem to get that out of the title. I went into the settings and change the title for the url for the form but it still shows it when I publish the link.
Okay, I have cloned a clone... now how to change the name? do I have to publish it first?
Hallo
Ich habe beide Varianten versucht, leider ohne Erfolg ?
Auch neue Formulare erhalte ich seit neustem immer mit dem selben unbrauchbaren Layout. Ich kann kein leeres Formular vernünftig aufbauen. Es generiert mir neue Felder und sofort auch neue Seiten.
Bestehende Seiten duplizieren funktioniert auch nicht mehr?
Danke für die Hilfe
so ,what benefit this website
When I clone a form the form does not look the same as the original. The margins are all red and I get this message at the top: This form component is not available for this form layout. I don't understand it I'm cloning a form I already have.
I cloned a form. However every time someone submits the form the email has the original forms title. How do I edit the email title?
Even after renaming a form and changing the title it still has the original forms name in the browser tab and email notifications have the original form as well. How do I change that if re-naming doesn't work.
Is there any way to limit the number of characters that can be used in a message.[Problem: There is a mentally challenged individual who is spamming our church--sending messages with pages and pages of text. A character limit would really help!]

i can't clone a form. why?
When I clone a form which but want it to be linked to another form that I have also cloned, how do I link the two cloned forms together? At the moment, submissions to my form keep popping up under the submissions for the original, not the cloned, form.
Once I clone and make changes I can not find where to go to edit the Form Name?
I want to share a form with a friend. That hat was simply. We followed your instruction with pasting the url - but if we edit the cloned form it does not automatically update at the website.
thank you , jot form is great work
