Thank you! This worked perfectly.
OMG! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Thank you. Simple and straight forward.
When you clone a form can you make changes to it? Will the original form stay the way it was originally designed?
In other words, my new agent could use my designed form, clone it, but change the name on the form to her name and not mine. Paula’s information sheet -original form, clone it and change the name to. Nicole’s information sheet?
The. We have 2 separate forms?
Wow so easy!!!!
Hello,
I did exactly as you did, but when I hit submit, it just says "please wait" and never shows a Thanks page. Are my settings off, or hyperlinks or encryptions blocking something? We'd like this up and running asap. Thanks!!

it is not letting me clone a form , when I go to the url where I need to paste the url of an existing form it does not let me .
Kindly help
It says I've reached my user limit. So do I need to upgrade my account? I dont have any forms.
Please update your steps as Step 3 is omitted and it takes you directly to Step 4 and if you don't like the card look you have to go into Form Setting > Show more options > scroll down and look for Form Layout and change the option.
Thanks, as usual simpler than I thought!

http://www.online.scthi.com/en/register.php I can not clone from this Url
Thank you so much Jotform GENIUS I look forward to this.
I cloned a jotform at https://form.jotform.com/62004587420146 that is in use on a site, where it appears to work OK. The imported form is largely blank (white-on-rice). When I hover over a field, I do see text, but... What is up with this?
It doesn't work for me.
I tried to clone this form:
URL: https://eu.jotform.com//?formID=61742784811359
to another account because it has to be on the workaccount.
I tried everything but ist's still not working.
When I try to clone from my own Jotform version 3.0 to my premium account my layout and images is not included.
I'm trying to clone a form:

This the one in the direct link box.

Hi. I followed your instructions to clone an existing form. After entering the url I click on continue and it says, "generating form" but it never completes the generation. What must I do to get the final form? Thanks in advance.

I am trying to import a form into my account from a URL using the above instructions and I keep receiving an error message:
"Form not found: Form Id is missing or irregular"
The URL: http://www.jotform.us/crussell10/New-Listing-Form
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.
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,

The "View Answer" link, above:
http://www.jotform.com/answers/77395
results in my browser recursively accessing the page without displaying anything. Can it be fixed?
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?
If i have created a form...can it be edited or viewed by others on this site?
Please help us!
I have followed these directions and it is still not working on mine either.
