copy a field

    I have a large field with 20 check boxes. I need to duplicate that field 10 times. Is there an easy way to copy it?

  2. Currently there is no field duplication in the form editor. What you can do is this:

    - Edit the checkbox field you have with the 20 checkboxes, under the list of choices there is a "Bulk Add/Predefined Choices" button, click that. A modal window will display and on the right side will be all of your checkbox values. Copy all the values by selecting them all.

    - Add a new checkbox field to your form. Edit it, select the "Bulk Add/Predefined Choices" button, in the Moda lWindow on the right side paste the values you copied from your first checkbox field.

    - Repeat for each field.

    So this will at least let you copy-n-paste the values so you don't have to enter them individually but you still have to add each Checkbox field to your form and name each one of them.

    Thank you! That is exactly what I needed. I am half way through but this will save me a ton of time for the remaining boxes.
