Copying a Form from 1 sheet to the next

Susan Swisher

I am not sure if this is the correction location to submit this "Enhancement" request. I have a FORM that I have created in multiple (6) sheets that use the same columns, fields, data; and now I have to modify every single form, in each sheet (6 times).

I would like the option to modify it in 1 sheet, and then copy it across multiple sheets; thereby replacing the form in each sheet. When I first created the form, and I create a new sheet, obviously, the Save as New Sheet, the form comes with it (great); but now the Sheets have too much data and I don't want to create a new sheet and copy the data, with the new Form and run the risk of losing anything.

Thank you... Susan

I would like to have an option to copy the form to be able to edit the copied form without impacting the format of the original document. I recently spent three to four hours to create a form. I needed to duplicate the created form to edit and create a new form with some edits. I was unable to do so.

Hi @Hemanth M

I hope you're well and safe!

Not sure I follow. You can duplicate a form and edit and make changes to it.

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic weekend!

Hello everyone. I've been working with several interns the past 2 months. We have them do work in a 'Test' workspace. Would like to 'copy' the successful/final version of the newly created/updated forms from the 'Test' workspace into the Production workspace. Would love to see a way to do this without having to re-create the new version in the Prod workspace by hand. Thanks!

Can the feature be added that allows for copying a form to an existing Smartsheet? Currently the only way to copy a form is to save the sheet as new so the associated form comes over in the new Smartsheet, however, if I need to use the same form only changing minor details for more than one Smartsheet that already has data populated within it, the save as new function does help. I'm relegated to manually having to rebuild the form within each Smartsheet that needs it.
