Getting a list of field settings, labels and help text in a form
I would like to utilize the help text in one form for a separate worksheet/form and not have to retype. Is there some way to get a list of field settings, labels and associated help text so that I can copy and paste more easily?
Thank you

Has the target sheet been created yet? If not;
- Open the source sheet, then File > Save as new , this will copy the existing sheet and form,
- Then you can update the sheet and form as required, there will still be some manual manipulation but it will be faster than recreating manually from scratch.
- This wont work if your target sheet already exists and is in use.

Hi,
I hope you're well and safe!
Unfortunately, it's not possible now, but it's an excellent idea!
Please submit this as a Product Feedback or Idea (If it hasn't been added already) when you have a moment.
Here's a possible workaround or workarounds
- Save the sheet as new and include what you need
- Copy and paste
Would any of those options work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe, and have a fantastic day!

The target sheet already exists so there is no solution.
But thank you for the clarification!
