There aren't a *lot* of records, but I'd much rather not lose the data. I've sent you access details. Thank you for your help and the quick follow-up!</p> <p>The end-goal is to leave ID 40 in place, as is, with the label "Parent/Guardian's Name", with the current data from the other records. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/unwanted-duplicate-field-same-id#post-101286 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 13:27:37 +0000 Chris Hajer 101286@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Jonathan, I heard back from one of the developers. This most likely happened when the form was created. If you add a second field before the first field is actually added to the form (by clicking the field buttons quickly), the fields end up with the same ID. This is something we are looking at fixing here soon.</p> <p>For you to fix this now, you will have to delete both fields and add a new one. You will lose the data associated with that field. You could export the entries before you edit the form and then manually edit each entry after deleting the fields and adding one back in. That would be painful if there is a lot of data in that field. If there is not a lot of data, this won't be too bad,</p> <p>If you do have lots of data and can't afford to loose it, we will need a WordPress administrator login, FTP login and phpMyAdmin access. If you choose to go this route, please email that information to <a href="mailto:chris@rocketgenius.com">chris@rocketgenius.com</a> </p> <p>Thank you, and sorry for the inconvenience. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/unwanted-duplicate-field-same-id#post-101117 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 02:12:16 +0000 Jonathan Wold 101117@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks, Chris!

If you inspect element you'll notice that they both have the same field ID. This is the same on the backend. </p> <p>What can I do to resolve the problem? (I'm not aware of it being there originally - the form is a few months old - the bug was brought to my attention today). </p>
