Getting a list of field settings, labels and help text in a form

LAW · 06/18/24

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!
