🔁 Duplicating a Field or Element in FormNX

Duplicating a field allows you to quickly create a copy of an existing field without rebuilding it from scratch. This is useful when you need similar questions or inputs in your form.

When Should You Duplicate a Field?

You can duplicate a field when:

• You want to reuse the same field structure
• You need similar questions with slight changes
• You want to save time while building forms

How to Duplicate a Field or Element

Follow these simple steps:

1. Select the field

   • Click on the field or element in your form that you want to duplicate.

2. Open field settings

   • Once selected, the field’s settings/customization panel will open on the right-hand side.

3. Scroll to the bottom

   • Scroll down to the end of the settings panel.

4. Click “Duplicate”

   • Click the Duplicate button located at the bottom-right of the panel.

✅ A copy of the selected field will be created instantly.

What Happens After Duplicating?

• The duplicated field will appear in the form immediately.
• By default, the new field keeps the same question or field name.
• The text “(Duplicate)” is automatically added to the field name to help you identify it.

How to Rename the Duplicated Field

To change the field name:

1. Click on the duplicated field.
2. In the right-hand customization panel, find the Question option.
3. Edit the text and remove “(Duplicate)”.
4. Enter a name that fits your needs.

Customize the Duplicated Field

Just like any other field, you can fully customize the duplicated one, including:

• Changing the field label or question
• Adding or editing placeholder text
• Adding help text
• Setting prefix and suffix
• Applying advanced validations
• Setting a default value
• Adjusting other field-specific settings
