I have five forms that I want to clone from a website. The first two clone OK then, after that, any form that I try to clone comes up identical to the second form that I successfully cloned. I am inputting the URL. I clear the browser cache before trying to clone. Is there a limit of two forms that you can clone with the free version?

As long as you're fighting pishing attempts using jotform, how about an option to block my forms from being cloned by their URl?

I don't want the conditions, field names, post data collection page or hidden fields known to random jotform users.

I have tried to clone a form from this link. http://www.dabur.com/Ayurveda-Know%20your%20Prakriti-Section1?Uid=abhi&Mail=phoenixvedicastrology@gmail.com

I think it is not possible to clone the form. I have a heavy respect for Jotform. I wish if you include some features like instant result or online instant scores functionality. I can opt for a small donation if you consider this. Please help...

Thank you for this information.

I wish to copy a form from one Jotform account to another also and it is not published. I wish to copy it directly.

Can I do this and do I need then to customise email address of received forms to a required new address and obliterate the original?

Thanks for any reply?

Gop.

After following the above 1-6 instructions, the page that is displayed isn't my form of the copied URL. The form that is displayed has fields that ask for Username, Password, Sign in box, Remember me with 3 options, forgot password and send Rest Instructions.
I am signed into JotFrom and just refreshed my page before copying the URL. I don't know what else to do?

Hi,

I'm trying to import this form
http://www.jotform.us/form/22695670154155 to a new account I've created (so a different department can manage it). I tried to use the import option, but it won't let me import. Is this only applicable for those who are not using the free version? Please advise.

Thanks,
Daphne

I was able to clone the form and rename it. But no changes have been allowed. I can double click and get the text box to allow me to change but it won't save.
Then it allowed me to delete a text box and now I can't replace it. And it certainly won't let me change my paymet type today. Not good. It's been hours and hours of trying and hitting my head against the wall.

I am trying to import a form into my account from a URL using the above instructions and I keep receiving an error message:

Other answers here say that one must use the actual url, not a custom one. But, this appears to be the actual url: http://www.jotform.us/rssllrich/VCSL_Workshop_Application

This the one in the direct link box.
